External gate question

Hey, just wondering if anyone knows a bit about external gates.

Have mine hooked up with direct pressure/vac straight from the intake manifold to the bottom of the gate and a seperate source to the top and regulating across the top to control boost. All works fine, but when you back off throttle or are at anything over about 2500RPM decellerating in gear (ie whenever there is high vacuum and revs) the gate opens as the pressure at the top of the gate sucks it open.

Is there any way to remedy this?

All the diagrams I have seen for external gate (not many), and the way I have my gate set up is with a line from just after the turbo outlet to the bottom of the gate, and a Tee off that via the soleniod to the top of the gate.

There is no vacuum there (because it is before the TB?), which I have tested by fitting a vacuum guage, and it works well without the problems you describe.

If you are having trouble understanding what I mean, have a look on the Apex USA website, and download the AVCR PDF, has nice pics.

Good luck.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
