Running external wastegate 8psi spring in and now a ebc. When the top wg port was open couldn't boost past 5psi was told to get a ebc as it will help now it boost to 5psi till about 4k rpm then it will go up to 9psi thats with the ebc turned to the max. On the video you can hear the wastegate open at 4 then it sounds like Vtec it crosses over to 9psi. I want to running around a bar but I can't get anywhere near that.
Watch the standard boost gauge jump as well.


These are is how the instruction said to set it up with an ewg

This T is from the bottom of the intake then to the boost gauge and to the boost controller

My boost gauge is t-pieced off the map sensor. Have you got the vac hose connected to the turbo housing then to the side port of the wastegate?

May be a stupid question but where is the map sensor? Yeah I've got that pipe on

when u fitted the wspring u mightent off sealed it propper and have a small leak ???

I haven't opened it the spring was in from new

I have an external wastegate set up with screamer. I'm meant to be running spring pressure which is an 8psi spring I'm getting a ebc soon. What sort of things am I meant to be checking? I might add that the wastegate opens at like 4.6psi and there you get the scream :S Just out of curiosity where so people run the vacuum line for their boost gauge? Help would be much appreciated!!

Its just as cheap one so doesn't use water

Basically what happens if you leave the side nipple open? With the side port on is very slow

Had an external wastegate for about a month and the guy that did it left the top and middle/bottom nipple open and blocked the one off from the turbo housing. Since then I have read you need the bottom nipple connecting to the turbo housoing I've done that but the car feels different and slower. Previously the wastegate didn't open till about till like 5k rpm now it opens eariler is rtgisd normal?

Anyone know if Mondeo callipers fit as a friend has them for sale with focus ST discs. I know the is a focus brake conversion you can do. Obviously machining will be needed but is there much?

Check the earth mate

I have, the earth is fine using the same earth as the boost gauge which works no problem :s

This is my temp gauge works fine when the ignition is on but when the car is started it flickers on and off and doesn't read. Any ideas I've wired the boost gauge in and its fine these are temp gauges so want the wiring to work before I get better gauges

Any ideas I used the ignition live from the CD player

It needs to be in working order I'm afraid

Yeah I'm still using it just after more exhaust systems

Looking for more to add to my collection ideally after 5zigen

Asking for a friend he needs a crank for his glanza

Although i havent seen my glanza in 6 months i do still have one (i think) and only down the road from you in hartlepool if your the same lad im thinking of andy my friend swapped his c2 for your 106 a while back i was the lad in the passenger seat He was saying summit about you getting a gt so if its not you theres another gt kicking about in billingham

Yeah that's me!

Seen that EP71 down linthorpe. Has some size cooler on it :-). I heard your bov long before I saw you drive past

Right I understand now thank you very much staying very much away from them don't fancy an engine rebuild anytime soon

I've read a few times one her that aftermarket rev limiters are bad for these engines but I've never found bout why, would quite like the theory and is it bad for all engines or just these. I get how they work by cutting the spark and still fuels. Surely that just gets pushed through the engine into the hot exhaust?

The audio isn't great but you get the idea

Is this standard rad friendly? Genuine tial?

Aww man would quite like the originals

Thanks for all your help

Where can you get the big GT advance stickers from?

I've just paid

Add me to the list

First UKSO event

Price and picture on the Td04 kit?

Also do you have both LSD shafts or just the short one?

Any pictures of the Td04 kit?

Right I will try that it will be passenger side won't it if its when you turn right?

Cheers

Right I have yet to Jack the car up and turn the wheels see if they both turn but have been told my car has an LSD green driveshafts if that changes anything? On full lock or just turning right theres a knocking assuming its the CV. So that will be passengers side driveshaft I need isn't it? Do I need special driveshafts and where do I get them from?

Cheers in advance
