i got a turbonetics evolution wastegete, got from e-bay used i was woundering if the gap around the valve seat normal or is there somthing wrong, is there some kind of gasket to seal it? looks like it will leak.


also can anyone tell me what psi this spring is

 

Looks like its missing a Fire Ring.

 

BINGO. Not sure on the spring rate tho

 

did some research and alot o people say the turbonetics don't need one. does someone know for sure.

 

I'm not the smartest person, but I know that SOMETHING needs to fill that gap. Typically there is a ring that sits there to create the seal (made of metal). If you try to put that on your car now, it's just going to be a new route for the exhaust.

 

You need the fire ring... Im sure you can contact someone... Who ever said you can use it with out a firering is dumb and dosent have a turbo car

 

been lookin and cant seem to find one for mine i wounder if i can use the tial? any one know who i can contact, tried turbonetics but they were already closed.

 

I had an older turbonetics at one time and there was an adjustment for that valve take it apart and check .

 

Yeah I can adjust the valve down there is still a gap all around it maybe the fire ring gasket will fill it I gotta get one to see

 

im runnin the evolution right now nd im using a fire ring. works great. no leaks. dnt kno wat spring u got there tho :/

 

Did yours come with one, if not can I use a tial? If so what size,

 

ya it came wit it when i bought it. u might b able to use the tial one if its the same mm diameter

 

Measure to see what size you need and someone on here will chime in on what size the tial is?

 

UPDATE!! I think i found it summit racing or jegs has a turbonetics valve seat, i hope it works, 13.99 i have to wait for it to get here to see.
