100873, RE: wastegate hitting hood Posted by totaleclipse_05, Jul-22-07 11:20 AM Are you using a electronic boost controller? If not, you don't use that top vacuum port. Take the bolt out of it completely and use the side port for the wastegate. | |

100890, RE: wastegate hitting hood Posted by VelocitaPaola, Jul-23-07 09:23 AM Where did you get that from? I have a similar one with the same problem... I don't use the top port right now, but it's still aggravating that someone would sell a product with such little research into the design. | |

100893, RE: wastegate hitting hood Posted by VelocitaPaola, Jul-23-07 11:01 AM Okay... who made it? Do you have a link to the auction? I'm just curious as to who's putting out those manifolds... it looks uncannily similar to mine. | |
