string Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 if your wastegate doesn't open porperly. mine moves but gets stuck on down pipe flange. if i correct this problem with mr grinder. would i have my problems sorted like....boost gauge nly reading .5 although it sumtimes judders like fuel cut,actuator doersn't make a difference to what boost is shown on gauge.goin out my mind because i swapped to a gt spec which i thought was good. not tappin into its potential yet.have mani, de cat, adjustable atuator, filter relo, fuel pump.wanna run .8 for bout 150 - 160 brake.cheers craig Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 a few people have mentioned this problem when fitting, its your downpipe thats causing the issue, grind it down and bend the flap back so its not catching and you will be fine.you should always leave fitting to a trained mechanic.to put the atuater onto the arm properly requires the use of a pri bar.

Ricky@Race-Tech Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Adding extra preload to the actuator isn't the best way to raise the boost. You'd be much better getting an EBC.As for your wastegate not opening fully, this would actually cause the boost to be higher not lower. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
string Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 i hav no leaks because its all new hoses n checked. new gaskets all round. only thing is wastegate not opening. but that should run mega boost. not hardly any boost. 'm annoyed because i tohught the gt was gonna be a massive success. i'm sure it will be but any ideas. also i read that i need a lil reducer nut bullet ting in my pipe btween actuator n compressor? would a mbc sort this? cheers craig Quote Link to post Share on other sites
