ok i recently had a 3in downpipe made. As soon as i put it my car( open dp), my car wont make more than 3psi until 5500rpms. I checked all my vaccume lines, i didn't see any exhaust leaks from the manifold or turbo and just double check my couplers.
does anone have an idea

 

what size turbo?

 

What did you have before?

 

i had that problem but i found out my wastegate was stuck wide open.

that doesnt sound relevent to your problem, but that was the cause of my problem

 

by size do you mean the size of the dp...it was 2 and 1/4 (long story)

i thought that it might be the wg but i when im driving it doesn't sound like its open

57 tirm 63 a/r

 

Do you have an integrated wastegate or external? If it's integrated ("internal") check for interference issues with the downpipe around the flange, etc.. We don't know anything about your turbo setup other than you just changed downpipes.

 

well i just took the wg off and the valve is up like 1/4 inch any idea how to fix?

 

external
to4e w?...with garret internalS?
turbonectics evolution wg
nock off hks BOV

 

i just took apart my wg

the piston is threaded at the top and held on by a "shim" and then a bolt. It looked like the bolt was screwed on too tight. i took off the bolt and noticed that if i dont srcew it on all the way then the piston/valve goes down all the way. id it safe to use a washer or two so that the bolt wont screw on anymore .

i just noticed that no matter how far i push the valve down (even past the flang) the is still VERY VERY VERY small amount of light. Ok well it def needs some type of o-ring i can see the space> Is it something i have to get from turbonetics or can i pick it up at lows?
Thank you

 

you do have the firering in dont you?
