when i have the wastegate hookede up i get no boost only like 1or2 psi. but when i unhook the wastegate from the charge pipe it only boost to 5 psi

 

which port you hooking it up to

 

its hooked up to teh charge pipe right after the turbo

 

in order to get vacuum, dont you have to hook it up to a port after the throtte body?

Gates are supposed to see boost, not vacuum.

 

well help me out guyz i'm going to the track tonight and i need this working right

 

Check your intercooler piping for leaks. Never run without your boost source hooked to your wastegate. If you overboost...toast.

 

i have no leaks that I can find

 

mines hooked up to my turbine ...you can use the intaake as well

 

but it doesn't boost at all when the wastegate is hooked up

 

-check your WG to see if its stuck open
-if its a tial, make sure that the little steel ring is in place (between the flange anf manifold
-check you vacuum lines for leaks
-check that you are hooking up your WG to a reliable boost source

 

He's using an internally gated turbo fyi. My money is on a leak in the charge pipe.
