ohh and am i gonna experience any lack of acceleration if i leave the wastegate open??? besides the lack of turbo like will it affect the rest of the engine??? thanks for ur help guys

Are these serious questions or are you having a lend of us?

Go to www.google.com and start reading about turbos and engines... Then come back here with some reasonably intelligent questions please...

ATM mate, your making an idiot out of yourself IMHO... You have asked for advice but you don't seem to listen...

Your questions indicate to me that you don't know jack about engines / turbos / cars... Seriously where are these questions coming from???

strutto, thats a bit harsh isnt it? poor guy is trying to learn and there are a few posts here that arent really serious. It can be hard to know what is truth and what is fiction today - especially when there are so many 'experts' out there who all swear by different things.

getrippedoff, the wastegate bypasses around the turbine wheel of the turbo, the turbine wheel is spun by exhaust gasses that in turn spins the compressor wheel (at the front of the turbo) and creates boost.

If you disconnect the wastegate actuator, the exhaust gasses will take the path of least resistance, ie, go around the turbine wheel, thereby you will have no boost:)

Oil supply and water cooling having nothing to do with the wastegate, it is quite safe and easy to do as Joel recommended - and it will achieve what you are after with minimum work.

Probably... :Oops:

It's just when I read all his posts (in the other couple of threads as well), I get the distinct impression that it doesn't matter what advice we give him, he will do what he wants anyway, draw his own conclusions and make poor choices...

Either way getrippedoff, what Steve is saying is correct... you would be wise to listen to him... :cheers: Sometimes with internet forums, you have to filter the good information from the bad... The only way to do this successfully IMO is to have a good understanding of the topic at hand to begin with...

Go do some reading about how all this "stuff" works and you will be in a better position to make good / wise choices...

That better Steve???

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
