im seriously geting pissed. i got a line that keeps coming off the top of the WG and is spiking boost like crzy. it allreadyy cost me a motor. it spiked again but luckaly i caught it and it came off and spiked again today! hopefully i didnt crack a piston. but i did hear a loud pop. i was in 4th floored it. sounded regular (open dump tube on WG) then got quite(WG closed) thus boosting psi. not sure how high it went but i did hear a pretty loud pop. im hoping it was just a back fire. it was zip tied on. what can i use to secure it there? it cannot be that every once and a while itl slip off. TIA

 

have you tried maybe even a small hoseclamp? how tight was the zip tie? on vaccum lines, i dont mess around...i tighten it with a pliers until the excess breaks off.

the zip tie was on TIGHT i couldnt get it on any tighter. ill try a tiny clamp next i guess. thanks for the advice

no problem, let us know how it goes..

btw: what wastegate do you have? and is the nipple barbed so the vaccum line stays on better?

mike

 

i have the deltagate WG. i hurd they kinda suckale. not barbed

 

The Deltagate has a notorious reputation for contributing to boost spike. turbosi03's Deltagate caused him blown rings and a cracked sleeve a couple weeks ago. Try a clamp instead of the zip tie.

That's how I got mines. Hose clamp on the WG side and down on the turbo side too That bitch aint coming off! hahaha

 

If you want the lines to stay for good, just replace them with -AN fittings and SS line or the Aeroquip push on line. It is less expensive than the SS and hold up well. It may seem like overkill, but spend a little money now on the lines and not worry about spiking and killing another engine. My entire set-up has the -AN fittings and lines and I am worry free even up to 25 pounds.

 

This might be of some help

fawkin stupid *** WG! aaaaah

 

Get ready to look at the following (turbosi03's piston after the SAME ish happened) ... Sorry mang You live and learn though

 

now accepting donations for my build up.

 

Do a compression test before assuming anything. Also, always use a small hoseclamp on those lines. You can get them at your local Pep Boys, Autobarn, AutoZone etc.

 

mines never did anything like that and i got a deltagate

 

Stop teasing him! He did.
