Hey guys I finished the turbo install yesterday and the car started up and is idling fine. The car runs and I can hear the turbo spooling, the problem is that it dosent make any boost.. I have checked for leaks but didnt find any. I have the lower vaccum line on my tial wastegate hooked up. I dont know where to look.. I think its my wastegate. When I hook it up to the top vaccum line, at idle it is already releasing air.. is that how its supposed to work? I noticed when I was installing the wastegate there was a small gap between the "plate" and flange if i was looking at it upside down. Does it need adjusting? Because I hear that I can adjust a nut inside the wastegate.. Please help!! TIA!!!!!

there should be no gap between the plate and flange...how many psi are you tryin to run?

it only has a .3 bar spring in it right now. i was going to run that until i can get a 8 pound spring.

did you get your problem fixed yet because i'm having the same problem now. the car runs fine and i can hear the turbo spooling but the boost gauge and vafc stops at zero.
