Help ASAP for TURBO novice: pics

[roz85]

Ok, what i want to know is where to i connect the wastegate line to on this turbo? Usually there is a little connection point on most turbos on the COMPRESSOR cover, though there is nothing on this turbo. It is a VQ30 turbo. My old rb20 turbo did have the connection on the comp cover but this turbo doesnt. So where do i connect the wastegate line to? Should i add a little connection somewhere on the outlet pipe?

See the cylindrical looking thing with the little yellow cover on the side... I'm dead sure that's the wastegate actuator / diaphram and that's connected to the wastegate by some lever (can't see on the pics).

I'm sure that you can run the line from your wastegate line into that connector that the yellow cover is hiding.

I suppose you also need to find out how much pressure is required to open the wastegate.

yep i know that that is the wastegate actuator. I know i run a line from the little yellow thing, but to what? Normally you connect it to another small nib on the compressor cover, but in the case of this turbo there is nothing on the cover.

The line can go from the yellow thing to anywhere on the turbo outlet pipes before the throttle... If you have a bleed valve or boost solenoid then you run it from there... But you don't have to connect the wastegate actuator to the compressor housing - just anywhere where there's boosted air

yep cheers, i was thinking of just welding a little connection close to the bottom of the stock outlet pipe.
