one thing you can try is take the wastegate arm off the flapper and wire open the wastegate you should make no boost if it does create boost then the wastegate hole is to small. if so whip the turbo off and port out the wastegate hole either yourself if your feel confident to do so, or get some one to do it for for you.

also take off the lever/arm off the flapper with the dump pipe on and operate it by hand see if it catches anywhere. BATMBL dump pipes in my opinion are the bomb but are designed for a stock turbo your hks one although is made to be the same may have a suttle difference in the flapper i dare say it may actually be larger so check what i said above and make sure it doesnt foul on the dump simple fix for that is to get out the die grinder.

if you have alook at my old posts ive gone through all this before so you may find some help in there

does anyone have any instructions or pics of porting out the standard wastegate?

ive got the same problem, and dont wanna have to fork out for an external gate.

when you port out the gate, do you need to replace the flapper valve as well? or is it big enough that it can cover a slightly larger hole just as well?

you will first need to remove the turbo, depending on how much overlap the flapper has over the wastegate hole will determine if you will need a new flapper.

ideally you want 2mm of overlap after you port it, if less than 2mm the flapper may not full seal and you will need to replace it with a larger flapper. (if it doesn't seal you will lose response)

you need to remove the exhaust housing off the turbo so you don't get crap left in the housing, remember to smooth the surface on the inside of the exhaust hosuing too. personally I am going to remove my turbo take mine to a turbo shop and pay them to do it for me to solve my boost creep issues

Before possible wasting your time and money on uneccessary solutions.

Firstly, inspect the hose connecting your wastegate actuator

to your intercooler return pipe. It may have a split or hair-line crack,

which are hard to spot. At the cost of $5 I would replace it.

A leak in this hose will bleed off air and cause

your turbo to reach high boost levels, causing its destruction.

Secondly, before removing your dump to inspect the wastegate

valve supposedly hitting your dump-pipe.

Use a needle-nose air squirter hooked up to an air compressor,

remove the hose off the actuator and stick the needle into the

actuator's nipple and squirt some air into it.

Your actuator should open-up quite freely, it can easily be heard.

You should be able to hear wether or not its hitting the dump-pipe.

If it does not hit the dump, but opens up slowly with lots of air

pressure, you might have a sticky actuator.

In this case, your better off purchasing a 12psi adjustable actuator.

From recent experiences, it would be wise not to get a universal

actuator and bend and heat the rod to suit your application.

Purchase a U-shaped rod, if required from the turbo place.

Hope this solves your problems. :(

Cheers,

Bill

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.

      Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.

      Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:

      Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
