I am installing a turbo and I wondering how to isntall a wastegate...... What do I do with the 2 vacuum outputs..... They currently are plugged up with golf tees.... Thank you.

here is a pic

 

top port goes to a ebc or the piping before throttle body , side port goes to vacume source after the throttle body

 

he said it ^^

 

please tell me you havent been running it without a vac. source

 

We don't have the top post hooked up to anything.

Should we hook it up to a vac source?

I'm using the spring to regulate boost.

If your running just the spring u can leave the top port alone....

just dropped in turbo yesterday, have not been running car.... When you say leave top one alone if using spring, then you mean just leave it open, without the tee or tubE?

 

whats a good place to hook side source up too?

 

yes leave it open without anything blocking it. it is there if you are using an electronic boost controller. it would, in the case of an ebc allow you to route boost pressure to the top of the wastegate to hold it shut until the moment you reach your set psi on the boost controller.

Stock FPR, but prefereably to the brake booster.

 

damn, if i hooked it up to fps, I would be running two plastic t's. One for boost gauge and one for this. Where is the break booster?


If I get a boost controller, do i need to take out spring?

 

wheres the break booster?
you kidding?
you know where your break fluid goes right?
well its that sideways space ship looking thing againts the firewall.

i just hooked mine off of a vac source on the intake mani.

 

yo man do u need me to come over and help u? (this is lee btw)

If you get a MANUAL boost controller or even an ELECTRIC, you do not need to take out the spring. Also the lowest boost setting would be what the spring is.

yeah, I have an excellent vac source perfectly suited for a wastegate that's all Honda, factory. I just don't have any Idea what is actually supposed to be going there.

 

preludes are like that too... probably someting in canada or someting... u know how they have some weird ****..

 

Hook that sucker up to your TURBO bro
If u have the Outlet on yout Turbo to do so. If not, hook the side port up to a good vaccum source. U can tap inot your Cruise Control is Neccessary. On my turbo i have a Port on it so i had no worries

 

if i were u i would do that too man.. the way yours is going u need to be extra extra carefull...

 

Do u have a Boost Controller. If not, then dont worry bout the Top part of the Wastegate. IF u had a Boost controller. Does your hood even close with the top part on. Mine sure didnt when i checked for my own knowlege. U might need an Elbow for the WG.
