I have a TD06-19C on an RB20 and I have a HKS style wastegate which is 38mm in size. It wont hold boost. Have tried disconnecting the avcr and just running it from a pressure source tot he bottom of the wastegate and it still wont stay at any level. I figured it was just the crappy wastegate (it came with that wastegate/diff turbo) so I bought a new one and wanted the same one so I didnt have to change the manifold and it still wont hold boost. ahh.

Any thoughts on what it could be? wastegate too small to hold boost? I only want to run 1 bar.

Thanks.

So I asume its loosing boost??

If the wastegate is to small the turbo will actualy over boost as the excess exhaust gas can't get out of the manifold fast enough due to the hole being to small.

Id say its a dodgy wastegate design perhaps.

When i said wont hold boost, I meant it is gaining in pressure. it never holds a boost steady, just winds up from 4000rpm till I stop it.

the wastegate has held .8bar with a t3/4 turbo that was on it before, I would have thought that it would be big enough to hold / control boost with the td06 as it has a smaller exhaust housing, I do realise it would flow alot more then the old turbo but still didnt think I would have a problem with size.

I dont feel like forking out $1000 and all the hassel of taking the exahust manifold off then on again when it may not be the problem, although it is looking like it.

can anyone confirm or deny whether a turbo of this size would need a bigger wastegate or not?

or anyone have any other sujestions for me?

Thanks.

agreed.

search button - re wastegate sizing... but that isn the issue here.

I betting manifold too, exhaust fiding it easier to go out the turbine than down to the gate.

Always the first thing to head for with rising boost above the spring

Speaking of which, what spring is in the gate?

Or is it one of the horrid adjustable things?

I believe it has a .9bar spring. but it goes over that!

when you sat testing is the only way, test what?

it is a custom manifold. if it is the manifold, then thats a big problem! stupid car!

Thanks for your input guys, I will look into some other things and well if its manifold, then it will prob stay liek that cause im not buying a new one!

Thanks.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
