hey guys just had my turbo rebuilt and the internal gate port welded due to being very laggy. spools up real quick now but as soon as it hits 8psi it jumps straight to like 15-20??? what would be the cause of this. my external gate is only a cheapy and has an 8psi spring would this be the cause or something different. cheers

lol. what do you mean? check the hoses. ive checked the lines all ok. the gasket is new and ive sealed with that exhaust stuff so i dont think it leakings? im realle not sure. it has to be gate i think cause i cant control the boost with or without controller. its running unlimited boost. but i donno why it jumps so hard?

if all you did was rebuild the turbo, and it was running fine before that, then what ever was done to the turbo is the problem. sounds like the external waste gate was the problem. Not sure how a welded internal w/g would improve spool time? ;)

na it was really laggy before, wouldnt start spooling until like 4500. had turbo rebuilt and internal gate port welded and it spools up way harder, unbelievable difference. but as soon as it hit like 8pis to 10 it jumps straight to like 15psi to 20 really quick. prob go more but i back off?

Hey man,

Nothing seems to be controlling your boost. Pull the boost line from the gate, push 8psi into it, and listen for the "clink" of the valve open, or remove dump and check visually with a torch. Make sure it indeed is opening at the rated spring pressure of 8psi. If so, check the boost line to the gate. Generally they feed the gate from the compressor cover. Some take the source from the plenum. Check the wastegate for how many pressure ports there are. Make sure pressure feed is to the bottom of the diaphragm and the top one is left to vent (or into compressor intake, to make it legal)

i have been told i need a larger gate that can by pass enough flow due to the amount of boost spike. a guy told me this off another forum, is this correct?

could be a good possibility. Get a good w/g that matches ur setup, ie turbo specs, etc. Use what works with everyone else's setup. sometime the cheap stuff sucks!

If it holds 15 - 20 PSI then your gate is missed matched, If it goes higher sounds like your not getting enough Air to the Valve, if you have anything other then the Gate take it off, Or yes your gate doesnt go with the setup and you need a bigger one but it still should hold some sort of boost because it should level out.

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
