71819, Lost 2 psi with fmic upgrade, HOW DO I TAP THE MANIFOLD TO WASTE GATE? Throw out ideas
Posted by jsupetran, May-29-04 09:53 AM
Hey, yall
I still have the 5 psi wastegate but with the fmic, I have lost 2 psi? I've checked for leaks, and I also have every connection at the pipes double clamped. So how can I regain my 2 psi again by tapping the manifold? I don't want to do the whole boost controller solution so please keep that in mind. mmmkay...
I would specifically like to know what type of material to use to connect the wastergate to a manifold souce? Should I go ss fuel lines? (kinda expensive)
Also, how easy is it to swap wastegate springs?

I know that you said you don't want to do this but just get the cheap TurboXS boost controller. That's what I did.
