ok so my rb20det in my 32 has always had a hickup on idle, never been an issue but always kinda been chasing it down.
anyway with my head under the bonnet the other day i heard the distinct fluttering sound of exhaust leek,
i have also never liken my screamer pipe/ waste pipe whatever its called when its plumped in.
the screamer in blue is slid into the turbo and is wealded to the dump at the bottom in red.
the dump pipe fits well as its flanged properly but the screamer is just slid/ shoved into the wastegate hole, most people i speak to say thats just how it goes.
my first question - is their a better way to have this fitted seeing as their no bolt holes to have something matched up properly
my other option seems to have a slightly longer pipe so it slides in further and get something reeeealy snug fitting??
not really happy with the setup but i have been told im being picky.
this is where the exhaust leak seems to be coming from, the little hole on the turbo has air puffing out and from the pipe/ turbo join itself right where the turbo meets the wastegate exit.
it has also occurred to me that the wastegate is letting air out on idle. also my o2 plug which i assume is in yellow, became unconnected....this did f**k all to the running of the engine......probably not cool...what issues am i actually looking at here
and i guess to answer my other....first question, is this all making my coughing idle?
this is my turbo set up with some helpful colours to explain my ramblings
