Under boosting still ?

[jakeep82]

I have now took off my manifold the cracks have been welded and any where else it was leaking welded up the internal wastegate and yet im still underboosting still only hitting .7 bar and i have a 1.2 bar spring in my wastegate ? i think its my wastegate what is dead any one else shed some light on it ?

[aidanep71]

can you here gasses escaping out the screamer on idle

[jakeep82]

no mate ill check over it in a bit but dont think i can !

[aidanep71]

oh and is it screaming at .7 bar

[jakeep82]

nah its not open on idle mate and yeh it screams at .7 bar i got an ebc but im just running wastegate pressure as my solenoid is broke so that shouldnt matter should it

[Ryan-11]

what kind of wastegate is it? for 1.2bar u should have 2 springs in your wastegate

[jakeep82]

it has no name on it mate and really i got one off ebay and it just came as one?

[akyakapotter]

Get rid of it and get a tial one

[jakeep82]

yeh if i can afford one and find some one who has one up for sale ! and if that would solve the problem then i would be i dont know whether it will or not :/

[jakeep82]

could it be the external wastegate making me underboost ?

[Ryan-11]

Try running a vacuum from the turbo to the bottom port on the wastegate and see what happens, but defo get a decent wastegate

[jakeep82]

thats what i got it as mate and it just hits .7 :/

[aidanep71]

the spring is prob knackered can you get another just to try it

[jakeep82]

i have got another a bought a brand new 1.15 bar spring of ebay and its still underboosting so mind boggling

[jakeep82]

Going to loose it with my car soon !! just got a new dual solenoid and controller fitted the solenoid and instead of hitting just over .7 bar im now hitting .85 with the controller set to 1.2 !! so im still under boosting can any one suggest what it could be its now down to external wastegate or turbo !!

[Ryan-11]

get rid of the wastegate and get a decent one

[jakeep82]

you think it could be the wastegate ? dont wana spend money if i dont need to as i have a few debts too be paid at the minute but want my car running right too !

[akyakapotter]

Try borrow a mates tial to see if it is the problem

[jakeep82]

[jakeep82]

[morgey]

Being the price is in $$ id guess shipping would be alot

[jakeep82]

free shipping to uk?

[jakeep82]

they also do replicas for a cheaper price ? now does that mean there genuine tial items or are they selling the replicas as real ones for more money ?>

[akyakapotter]

just save up £200 and get a genuine one mate

[jakeep82]

probably be best then risking it i suppose think i may put up a wanted thread as the misses just said she will pay for it if i get one cheap enough for my birthday in a few weeks
