hey guys im starting to put my turbo kit together and i notice that the actuater for the waist gate is very hard to move..... if i try to move it by hand foward to open the waistgate then it is sooooo stiff..... is this norm?.... i just dont see how the thing will open with just a little pressure from the vac line.... i took it off of the arm for the gate and the gate opens with no effort.... i got a pic of the turbo here but shitty pic... camera phone.... no it is not new and i am to this so please give a little info.....thanx guys...(turgo off of a dodge conquest..TD-05 12G)

my dumb azz for got to post this B4 :-)

 

thats normal, that diaphram wont move until it sees the set boos level. if you want hook up a bike pump or something to it and then pump it up and it will move freely then.

yea... it is just that i was like dang... is this thing stuck or what...... im weighing in at like 256lbs.... im not little at all and i could just move it without really bearing down on it..... anyone know how much boost this thing is set to put out?... it has an adjustable arm on it??? i have not moved it though.. im looking for 8lbs or so..... maybe more in the future.... i know this is a small turbo.... maybe it is just wishfull thinking on my part......here are 2 more shitty pix.... does anyone know what kind or who makes a downpipe flange for this.....??? it is close to a 3" standard exhaust flange... very close.... i could almost drill the holes out in one and make it work..... but the center hole on the 3" flange would not seal with the gasket i have.... any ideas? thanx again

bump in the night!

 

i dont know what the wastegate is set for. but you can get whatever you want and replace that one.

is they a way to tell exactly what point the WG is set to open? i think i see some kind of formula to fig it...... but i dont know......anyone?

 

just another Bump in the night!

 

good god, anybody?

 

find out what the factory boost setting is fo the car it came off. or like i said hook up a bike pump and a boost guage and pump it up till it can open.

Landon

 

hey that is a good idea..... thanx
