Wez Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Hey All, I have the wastegate off the car at the moment as it needed testing, I used an air compressor and a set of AC gauges, everything appears to be working fine which is good. Thought I would post up this vid, not very exciting though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRALOOPY Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 what psi did you test it at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 Starts opening about 0.8bar and anything above 1bar its fully open which is how I run it on the car. I have an MBC which holds off the manifold pressure until 1.4bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I was just about to say some people will video/take photo's of anything, and then I remembered that I had to create a new photobucket album as I'd reached a 1000pics for my BTT install. Good work Wez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 Cant believe my first YouTube video is a wastegate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absz Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 i,m right in saying the there is always constant pressure on the side feed on boost and its the pressure applied on the top via the boost controller that stops the wastegate from opening ?

Wez Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 I only have one port on my setup, I use a MBC to hold off any pressure from opening the wastgate until I reach 1.4bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
