Okay i got an internal wastegate for my 14b/td05 turbo and i put it on the turbo put i noticed that the flapper on the inside of the turbo was still open slightly, i can't see that as being correct. Will it close up when a vaccum line is attached to it or what i will get pics up soon

 

the flap should be shut, there is a problem somewhere. Anybody else have more info on his problem?

here is the pic

 

that is correct, that flapper should be closed. is the wastegate you purchased the correct one for your turbo?

check with the FI guys too'

 

well i got it from vtec92civic and he is reputable and said it was froma 14b could i cut it and then just weld it back together shorter?

 

yes you could weld it together, but in all seriousness, do you want to risk overboosting due to a failed wastegate arm... don't risk your engine man.. thats my .02

 

ya but unfortunetly i just got a manifold that doesn't accomidate external wastegates so i gotta get this to work or get another one

 

well i think i firgured it out, i mounted the wastegate with the two bolts at the tope, i took those out and between the wastegate and the turbo i put a nut and then screwed the wastegate in and it closes now could that have been my problem i was missing a piece?
