How do you knwo the wastegate is set to 10psi?

Wind the screw all the way out and check the pressure/vacuum lines to the wastegate are correct. Then go for a drive and see what boost level it holds. My Trust wastegate is only an 8psi one, but there are other spring rates used.

Give that a try, if that doesnt do the trick then post up a bit more detail of how the boost is spiking and perhaps someone can offer firther assistance?!?!?!?!

I took the spring out and took it to advan, they said it was a 10 psi spring,

ok, now my turbo hits full boostat around 2500rpm.

Now it stays on 10 psi till around 3500rpm, then slowly increases till 4500rpmn with then it starts hitting around the 30psi mark.

I took the gate apart and the spring and the diaphram are in top cond, all the lines are hooked up propery, (im 99% sure)

I need this fixed asap, any help at all would be great even if you have a wastegate i can test it with for a few hours, ill throw in a case of beer to any1 that can solve the problem 100% by the end of the weekend...

      WTB R33 trunk side and rear carpeted trim

      Hey all. Looking for all of the carpeted trunk trim for my 95 GTST coupe. I’m having a hard time finding the pieces I need on US or Japanese sites/auctions and was hoping someone has a clean set stashed away somewhere?

      New aerial is aerialing well....trips into Goulburn are not losing the ABC classic radio signal Also......I've been procrastinating about wheels for the MX5, the car doesn't need any more tyre, I just "want" different wheels, so I went looking for something that legally fits the new Pilot Sports +1 size 215/45 17 that I'm currently running on the 17x7 OEM wheels (stock size is 205/45 17), not a silver, and not a black, ended up with gloss bronze Konig Dekagrams in 17x8 +40 which fit without the need for rolling the guards, whilst larger than the OEM wheels they are also lighter than the OEM wheels, and at just under $1300 for the set I'm more than happy with the price I seen a set of matt black Deka's on a MX5 when I was at MX5 Mania, same wheel size, same tyre size, sat really nice, and not stretched enough to look aids, although the 215/45 17 is the smallest that you can legally fit Just need to find some good black wheel nuts to suit

      So I decided that I wasn't happy with how I originally wrapped the loom with fleece tape. I didn't factor in the new intake manifold/plenum so it always sat a bit funny. Yep, I decided to unwrap it and redo how the wires would branch out. Added in a light twist too, here's hoping I didn't snap any 30 year old wiring because FML if I did. Took a few more photos of the shit box too, needed it for Enthusiast Insurance as they wanted photos to justify why my agreed value was above market by a fair amount.

      Help reliable 5-600hp

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      if wanting reliability and that level of performance a dry sump is mandatory for circuit stuff as you'll just be filling the head with oil. easy and reliable setup with potential for more later Hypergear bolt on turbo or a g30-660 with T3 rear housing .92 external gate mod to factory exhaust manifold with 45mm waste gate plazmaman/pwr intercooler oil cooler 1200cc injectors 460 TI/walbro with upgrade relay and wiring/pwm control turbosmart fuel reg Link g4x plug in ecu with knock, oil, fuel pressure sensors, 3 port mac valve, DBW conversion Quality clutch kit- NPC is what I've used for a long time READ THE WHOLE OIL CONTROL THREAD Could do major service while there and maybe headgasket, studs and valve springs. as soon as you whack a massive turbo and short runner intake on a street car they are useless and not practical the above will be a fun and reliable 400-430hp on E85 all day with correct maintenance and mechanical sympathy.
