I wish I had pics, ill try to load them in a bit.
Im having trouble with the adapter piece that goes between the wastegate and vband flange, i can put it together, but it takes a lot of pressure and im pushing in the plunger. Does this sound right?

 

doesnt sound right at all..


one part gets welded to the WG opening, the other is part of the WG. Use the collar to squeeze the 2 together. the more you tighten the collar, the more sealing.

If you have any questions, just google image V band

 

I understand the vband ouside part, buth theres an inside piece. Unless I dont need the piece?

 

there is a firing ring

This thing has to go between the wastegate and manifold right?

 

one of those needs to be welded to the manifold the other to the gate

 

ill go in a bit to take pics

 

the one on the WG should already be on, so u have just 1 ring and a collar.




So, in the pic, the bottom gets welded to the WG outlet.

The one on the side gets welded to the dump tube.

I cant explain it any easier

 

My manifold and gate are vband, but I think the piece i am confused about is the sealing ring and how it fits

 

^^
Just like that.

 

That's ring is called a valve seat. You need to preload the valve and seat to install the wastegate.

 

Thanks, the other guy had me thinking I was stupid or something.
How much pressure should it take?

 

should'nt take much at all. It really depends on the spring(s) you have in teh wastegate

 

what brand gate are you running?

 

I think your talking about something different then what the OP is talking about

 

im taking it that its a tial brand?
