Ants Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I have often wondered about Wastegate actuation, as over time vacuum drops in an engine and the wastegate seals wear. So unless you constantly adjust it the boost control will lessen over time - good reason not to buy used wastegates. On a far less serious note, and in response to 2.1 bar boost. In a modified GTIR years ago a friend used to boast that his engine could handle anything failing, so another friend told him to disable all boost control (wastegate locked) and remove the knock sensor for a 10 second full throttle blast. The thing went like a rocket - didn't blow up then, but one week later he called for a tow as he had just played catch the conrod. Motor pulled down and bearings were mushroomed and block had an awesome porthole. lol......epic fail to that Gtir.Having said that 2.1bar is no laughing matter Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/431233-mugabetown-whoretownin-at-its-worst/page/327/#findComment-7060664 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TREGTR Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Yep, he was initially really happy about proving the doubters wrong until the engine died. 2.1 is high. I remember years ago hearing that Rigoli was ordering 5 bar map sensors, as the 3 bar were out of range on the racecar.

TiTAN Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 that would be consistent with wastegate functioning correctly What pressure wastegate spring limits your boost? 1.7 bar spring, lots of preload, did a few more tests consistent 2.08 - 2.1 bar, so needs to be backed off a tad.
