hey mate how do you actuate the screamer?

Poke it in the dump pipe?

Same as a normal wastegate; pressure signal from pressurized inlet tract overcomes spring pressure holding wastegate closed.

Open wastegate releases excess exhaust gas (in this case straight to atmosphere, rather than into the exhaust) reducing the volume of gas available to spin exhaust turbine; thus reducing inlet tract pressure and closing wastegate.

The "screamer" name is due to the fact that the unmuffled wastegate is extremely loud; basically like an open exhaust, while the wastegate is open.

I used a turbosmart 45mm wastegate plumbed in before the turbo, it just dumps excess exhaust gasses to stop the turbo shaft speed from increasing once 26psi is achieved.

I have since plumbed the screamer back into the exhaust which made the boost skyrocket to over 40psi, i dropped the controller down but the tune has changed completely, back to the Dyno again...

There must be a hell of a lot of excess gas from the wastegate!

Is it worth (or can you even fit) a larger dump/ front pipe set up to reduce the back pressure? Does integration angle of the Wastegate pipe into the exhaust cause the boost spiking?

Have you seen BOBBYr34's wastegate venturi set up? That wouldn't take long to fabricate... :blink:

Not telling you how to row your own boat by any means mate; just curious.

They merge at the 4 inch cat body, not the best flowing setup but more than adequate IMO. The reason for the boost spike is the increased pressure in the exhaust compared to just venting it. Once the controller was setup again the boost level was fine but the tune is still out, especially as the turbo spools.

I will try and get a pic today when I remove the front pipe again.

HOLY FUARK how did i miss this thread!

the epitome of AWESOME!!!

i was just talking to my uncle the other day about getting a gigantic turbo for my stag. so it can just be a lag monster.

i can cruise around as if it was N/A all day and then open it up when i want to! lol

LOVE IT!

getting a gigantic turbo for my stag. so it can just be a lag monster.

I never said 500hp is ordinary, it simply isn't a lag monster with a modern turbo and decent setup. Personally I would prefer a slightly smaller turbo for street use on a heavy wagon.

Bolt an old T88 on a 25 or 26 then you will see what laaaaaaaag city is like.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
