my gate tial 35mm seems to be opening at idle(exhaust comes out) vac line is hooked to the compressor side and to gate. is this normal?

 

That was very very confusing. Where is there a vac line on your turbo?

Do you mean pressure line? You want the pressure line (no vaccum in turbos) going to the side port on the tial. The top port should be open. You can also, instead, use a manifold pressure (vaccum) line, which would help to compensate for underboost due to a pressure drop across your ic.

If none of the above are your problem-- then either your gasket blew, or you didn't install the fire ring (metal piece that goes inside before installing).

 

yea, pressure line, thats what i was referring too. im running no gasket but metal ring is there. nothing hooked to top of gate just to side. i know its hooked up right but it just seems to be open at idle because of exhaust coming out of dump tube. hope that helps
thanks

 

ttt

 

Hmmm... I wish I could help. Did you put the fire ring in upsidown?

 

no, got it used and already in there i think???? does someone have a pic of one with a firering installed and one with out? ok, i sound like an idiot but since i got it used, the fire ring is that silver piece correct? and also im runnin no gasket, but thats ok...?

thanks

 

I don't use a gasket either, that's not your problem if exhaust is coming out of your dumptube. The fire ring is "that silver thing" (lol) that the valve actually seals up against. It goes in from the bottom, and without it you'd be able to see a gap that exahust would come out of at all times (idle included) if you installed it upsidown or not at all.

 

thanks, yea the fire ring is in there...maybe a new one...wierd thing is, i still boost my full 7lbs.....well who knows, i will check it out today

 

hey, im posting on my buddies name because it wont let me log out here, but anyway.....there is no firering in my wastegate, that is why exhaust is comin out at idle...where can i get one? thanks
