46854, WG stuck! tips advice?
Posted by Chamuko, Apr-15-03 10:06 PM
hey peeps after having my car sitting for a while i took her for a spin. after a couple of minuets of warmming her up and after a couple of blocks i decided to take her into boost. now i was doing fine when i noticed taht she picked up faster then usually when she was set at 7 psi. I the heard a pop, my friend heard it a block away, it was my WG and turbine signal line. I looked up and the boost was at 10psi and climbing fast so i let off. I checked everything, i dont think i heard any knock ( dont know what it sounds like) so i thought everything was fine. she ran and idled perfect. I reattached the lines with some couplings now. but it still would rise to 9-9 psi where i would let off. So I think the WG is stuck closed. how do I get her to open wide again?

I doubt a couple of shots of 151 would work:rolleyes

yeah ill be taking it off, but i thought it worked on a diaphram or something so i just dont want to mess it up my poking in there or something.

no it doesnt have an arm. its the turbonetics deltagate mark II that comes with the STAR kit.
thanks though.x(
