Can a waste gate be hooked up backwards and still work????

I need help. pls

 

there are a few things that can malfunction on a wastegate. Is it an external or internal? What exactly is it doing? What do you have your boost gauge set to and what are you actually reaching?

 

it open / closes at ideal.

I have the dump tube side connected to the manifold because of modifications, i know its backwards, but that's the only why it fits on my set-up.

then i have the top nipple to a vac block befor intake manifold.
and the bottom nipple to a charge pipe nipple right after turbo outlet.

any way i try it it opens/closes at ideal.
no vac lines , all vac lines, one vac line. anything, its a real tial and i opened it all is ok, but since it was backwards i lost the valve set on the real side driving on the high way.

 

and will not hold boost at all, very little if any , but befor i had it hooked up to a log manifold backwards and it worked perfect. holding a 10-12psi

 

bump

 

umm yea, you cant mount backwards and expect it to work. the valve at the bottom is what opens and closes to release pressure.

 

But cant the valve just stay close untill it hit spring pressure not matter what way its hooked up, as long as the vacuum lines are switched???? like a boost controller off the c/p and intake manifold pressure?
