ok.. so the wastegate actuator on my ct20b is fubared.. i get boost creep like crazi...
i was going to get an external wastegate to replace it and weld the internal one shut. i just hv a question about size. i was planning on getting a tial 38mm w/ either .5(7.252psi) or .6(8.702psi) bar... i hv an mbc and plan to run probably 10psi neway tho... however, the shop my car is at, a customer has a 48mm wastegate but wants a 38mm and he said that customer is asking if i want the 48mm turbosmart wastegate in exchange for a tial 38mm... i'm assuming 38mm is a good size for a 5sfte... would i b better off w/ the tial 38mm or the turbosmart 48mm? the 48mm seems kinda big... i'd possibly get a lot of lag? not sure what other pros/cons there would be between the 2? any help? thnx This post has been edited by elvasoshexai: Nov 28, 2007 - 12:59 PM -------------------- |

Thanks Tony that clears it up alot for me, how can you tell if your wastegate is going bad? car wont build boost right? I think i was having this problem with my 3s, i just started noticing it before i got into my accident. Internal wastegates show a few symptoms of going bad... It works with a diaphragm that pushes a spring which in turn moves the wastegate flapper. If the diaphragm is ripped or leaking, then it will fail to properly push the spring to open the wastegate flapper. This would cause abnormal boost spikes and also boost creep. As RPM increases, the boost reference signal (vac line to wastegate) is leaked out and the diaphragm no longer does its job controlling the movement of the flapper properly. If the wastegate spring has fatigued from aging or thousands of heatcycles, then it you would get wastegate creep. This is when the wastegate flapper prematurely opens as exhaust pressure overcomes the fatigued spring in the wastegate, forcing it to open before it builds full boost. You will get a really laggy turbo and boost takes forever to build. -------------------- '94 Supra TT 6spd; AEM EMS, HKS T51R KAI BB; 737 WHP @ 23 psi
