Help 2530 Wastegate Feedline?

[1400r]

Put my new(s/h) 2530 on my car (R32 4 door RB20Det) today all went well until I discovered the turbo does not have a inlet on the front of it for the line that comes from the wastegate like on the stock turbo. So I connected it by Ting one of the carbon cannisters lines is this ok?

it seems to only start making any boost till 2,800 rpm and full stock boost .7 bar doesnt hit till 3,500 this seems right to me but I thought it would start spooling earlier as the stocko seems to start spooling start away. Please keep in mind that my car is very much a stock just exhaust and filter at the moment.

Do I also need to keep the small stock hose as Im just using a longer section of fuel hose at the moment Im assuming the stock hose has a restrictor in it? (my 180 had one)

It pulls very hard compared to the stock turbo up high Any help would be great thanks

HELP!

help I took the connection of the front of the stock turbo and put it on the 2530 as it had a alan key bolt blocking up the normal hole. So I could hook the old wastegate hose up to the same as the stock turbo setup now it only boosts to .4 bar whats going on is the wastegate stuffed? it felt fairly loose before I put the turbo on now Ive got to stuff around with it again and put it back the way it was buggar

come on someones gotta know were else I can hook the other end of the wastegate line to bov? some where else on the intake manifold?

Just T it to the BOV. I'm assuming that it has a boost signal.

I wouldn't 'T' the wastegate actuator off the carbon canister hose because the line is very long and also reads boost from the manifold side of the throttlebody.

I think you should keep the line on the fitting on the compressor cover.

I think the HKS actuator should be able to hold .7 bar and it should have an adjustable length arm.

I'd look at the adjustment to see if it's loose.

If that's ok have someone check the actuator spring tension.

If you want more boost get a boost controller don't plumb your actuator to a weak indirect boost signal like the canister purge line.

thanks guys turns out one of the pipes of the intercooler was loose once I fixed that up it held .7 bar again still feels fairly laggy though but from what Ive read in the other posts it seems about right. Thanks for your help
