ok, im newbie at this, so bear with me. i have a gsr greddy turbo kit with intercooler. on the turbo, there's the rigth side which looks all red and rusty, then there's teh shiny side that looks like metallish. on the metallish side, there's a yellow thingy on it that supposedly im suppose to connect a vacumn line to it, but the thing the vacumn line's suppose to connect to (the male end of the yellow thing) is broken off. is there a quick fix, or somewhere i can go to replace it?? i'll post pics later tonite when i get off school. it's hard to explain it =/
Help me, im lost sleep thinking bout it last nite,

ok, so the nipple on ur wastegate has broken off. i dunno if u can get it welded back on or not, it is quite a small item but it could possibly be done by a skilled welder. just make sure that hole doesnt get blocked or plugged up. as a last resort u could replace the internal wg or get one off a junker

 

help...anyone??

 

oh, so that's the "internal wastegate"?? i would rather replace it cuz the hole is pretty damn small to align up. anyone got an extra greddy external waste gate for sale? or anyone know where i can get one?? im a newbie =/

 

anyone got a broken greddy 18g turbo?? i'll buy the yellow wastegate off of you.

 

This?


Mine was broken. I replaced it with a Dodge 2.2L Turbo unit.

 

yeah, that's the one. anyone have that shiny yellow thing whose willing to sell it??
let me know, thx.

 

If you cant find the part, you could always get a Tap set. Drill then tap the hole. Put in a NPT fitting of the appropriate size. Seal the threads with some good high heat silicone.
Rather "ghetto" approach, but if it works, then go 4 it.

there are shitloads at junkyards. that can be good or bad...

 

get a Tap Set eh? what's a tap set and where do i get one?? i called up greddy earlier, they said it would cost close to $150 to replace it. $150 !!! i gave him the finger (which he didnt see), said 'good day' then politely hanged up the fone &gt;

 

by the way, what does the yellow thing do anyway? it seems to be hollow, and one end is connect via a metal pole to the turbo. if i get a new one, can i just bolt it somewhere else instead of on the turbo?

 

You dont need it, just run without it hooked up. It'll help you get more boost!

it's a vacuum diaphram. vac/boost pressure moves the little diaphram inside which moves the rod and opens/closes the wastegate 'trap door' to regulate boost.

hope that helps

i c. what would happen if i ran without it?? or does anyone know how to convert the greddy inernal wastegate into using an external waste gate?

 

you seriously need to do lots of reasearch before you even drive your car your **** will blow up in 2 weeks if you dont have an idea about what the turbo system involves. study my boy study

Word. You seem like WAAYYY too much of a turbo n00b to be boosting your ****. I researched for a YEAR before I boosted mine a month ago, and since I installed it myself, I feel that if anything is wrong with the turbo setup I should be able to at least diagnose it myself, if not fix it.

RESEARCH!

 

im a noob, that's y i went with greddy. my stepsister's uncle knows a lot bout turbo and stuff, so im not worried. he's gonna install it for me but i just want to make sure i have everything ready for him. for now, imma try welding in a small tube, if that dont work, i guess i gotta replace the whole thing =/
