Ok, here is the deal. regarding your wastegate.


DO NOT DO IT!


i have blown up turbos on these motors enough to know what will and will not fly...... install a decent boost gauge, and 34PSIG post CAC ABSOLUTE MAX for safety reasons.... even then a bark is possible with a quick lift..... we only have a roughly 7 psig safety window here.... and 7psi can be blown past a weak gate awfully quick...





BTW... apart from cost it takes a bit of time to replace a turbo on one of these...... 6-8 hours if you drop the trans or id you have a spare turbo appx 9 hours and cheat the housing.





Edited by: Got Juice?

Or is that third?http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif
