I know I should carry on with my old thread but I like making new ones.
1. Still no boost. I can't figure this out. I'll make a pressure tester tomorrow, if everything is good to go then I'm going to have to assume it's the WG or maybe the guage is fucked up, even though it shows 23-30 Hg (vacuum) at idle and 1 hg-1psi under load. It defenitly doesn't feel like theres boost.
2.Adjusted timing which defenitly helped.
3.Semi finished the exhuast, its just mocked up to be welded but it has a nice tone to it even though it still leaks. It's a lot quieter than I thought it would be, and boy does that piping restrict power, oh well.
4. My radiator is a POS and the car will overheat after a little while, My new one came today, it will go in tomorrow.
5. Fuck the coolant lines to the turbo. I'm capping it off and putting the stock cooling system back together. These 42/48s are pretty fuckin cheap, if something does happen its at most $150 for a new one and I can always add those coolant lines if I need too.
6. I finally made an intake pipe and put a filter on it.
7. Leaking from DP, which is causing some smoke in the engine bay.
My main concern is this not building boost issue. I figure it's 1 or more of these three accusations.
-wastegate
-IC
-Couplers are leaking somewhere
The turbo is obviously spinning and trying it's just not reaching the IM.
It has an adjustable Internal WG, I guess I'll attempt to twist the rod a little. Tightening it would raise boost, correct?
I'll also put the MBC on and see if it make a difference.
I dunno this car is starting to piss me off.
