EWG leakage

[Turbo Goose]

Just fitted a td04 kit and started for first time without screamer pipe on. I have a tial 38mm ewg and i could feel the gases coming out of it. Should it be a tight seal or is a little seepage expected?

Thanks, dan

Should be tight. Have you got the sealing ring in?

[Turbo Goose]

Ill take it off and have a look

[mikey4410]

Should be absolutely air tight.no leaks at all.

[Turbo Goose]

Sorted. Basically im being a tit. By not having the screamer on there, the washer/ring bit on the bottom wasnt pushed tight to the wastegate penny. My bad but thanks guys

What way do you have your EWG then ? With the boost ring facing the mani or the boost ring facing the screamer ?

[Turbo Goose]

Facing the screamer, is that wrong lol? Always seen ewg facing upright if you know what i mean.

seal ring faces the floor

[Turbo Goose]

Thats ok then, mine faces the floor. Fits up against the screamer

[Ollieh17]

Seal rings sits against the manifold and wastegate?!

[Socks]

That's wrong....

Seal Ring goes onto Manifold...

That's where the seal is needed!

Why is the wastegate 10ft away from the manifold?

HOLY SHIT BATMAN

first time ever seen any body set it like that.....

yea the screamer points to the floor not to blow the battery up hehe

like this

Looks like you've attached the screamer pipe to the manifold then put the wastegate on the end? Effectly relocating it. Wastegate goes straight to manifold with sealing ring. Then screamer off that

[akyakapotter]

Really ? You get the gasket which goes onto manifold then where screamer exits facing the floor you get the seal ring on the bottom of the valve along with another gasket and screamer pipe or no gasket if using vband clamps.

Looks to me that pipe from the mainland is just an extension so it's sat in a different place to normal.

[Ollieh17]

Scrap all that I said just looked at mine and is like your lots lol I blame having 3 hours sleep lol

[Turbo Goose]

Right, ill get on it tonight. The wastegate hit the rad hose with the pipe it came with, also the welding on it was a joke. Ill see if i can mount the ewg straight to the manifold so its not as far away from the mani

Old pipe

[Ollieh17]

That looks shocking!

[Turbo Goose]

The worst ive seen lol

[Ollieh17]

zisco? noticed the weld on my manifold are awful but bought it second hand

[iamlegend]

that mani looks like a wepr??

surley that is not here work on that pipe thow no way..

[Turbo Goose]

The setup is second hand. That pipe has been modified and rewelded by someone. The original welds on mani are excellent although a couple have been redone ok ish
