Morn.

Stuck on a train. Plus side it's fark yeah Friday.

[Kiwibob]

just keep a pair of baby socks in the car, fits perfectly over the gear knob and either stops it from getting hot in first place if you remember to put it on when parking, or protects your hand after the fact if you forget.

Hmmm i wonder what people would think if they walked past my car and saw my knob covered by a baby sock lol.

Very good idea but i think changing knob would be better as i never did like the one i got.

[mosquitocoils]

So I unhooked my wastegate actuator hose before work, went for a drive around to warm up (then a bit longer lol)

Anyway, hit around 10-12psi a few times (before backing off), but laggy, and can still hear a balloon squeak type noise.

Dump pipe on incorrectly?

[Traditimeour]

Are you running stock dump? Manifold?

[mosquitocoils]

Stock manifold (untouched when I replaced the turbo)

It's a split dump/front pipe, but not one of the shitty JJR ones, it's got a huge long split for the wastegate gasses. I also checked when I had it disconnected that the wastegate flapper doesn't catch on the interior of the dump (like on the JJR ones)... but that may have changed when I put it all back together..... I'm thinking maybe the gasket could be sitting shitty or something?

The wastegate is completely shut at idle.

so refresh my memory

you are getting no boost when everything is hooked up, but when you unhook the feed to the actuator you can get boost?

Damnit, Nistune only posted this morning, won't get it till Monday now .

[mosquitocoils]

Correct... Although I can still hear a squealing leak under boost

Ravi,

Have you got another actuator to swap over?

[mosquitocoils]

I've got 3 - an R32, R33 and R34 - all have had the same issue

[Smity42]

coke is awesome. work isn't.

transmission ends.

[mosquitocoils]

Probably a dumb dumb question but one I've never known the answer to

Does the diameter or length of vacuum hose make a difference? Specifically in this case intercooler piping nipple -> actuator?

Edited January 28, 2011 by mosquitocoils

[Smity42]

It does but only a minor one. Should try to keep that vac hose as short as possible.

[mosquitocoils]

Yeah I try and keep them as short as needed so that's good.... how about thicker/thinner? Any advantage?

[Nee-san]

Thicker is always better

[mosquitocoils]

Just wait for Martin to read that...

Too many knobs in that. Not my idea of a fun night out.

What turob is it? didn't you buy a highflow? It may have a balance issue....

Still get to play with the software

Correct... Although I can still hear a squealing leak under boost

gasket or turbo is my guess.

This is for you.

oh and scarface.
