For you guys with the turbonetics DeltaGate that comes with the star kit:

Are you running in wastegate mode or "DeltaGate" mode? Deltagate mode being with the line running from the compressor housing on the turbo to the nipple on the wastegate... I was reading the instructions that the thing will actually work both ways. I'm running it with the line connected, but i just tried it without it and i'm still having the same problems... it bogs down under boost at wide throttle. On a whim, i thought it might be the intertesting deltagate feature, which opens the wastegate .. well, let me show you what the instructions say...

"Under heavy to moderate load conditions (such as an extended hill climb ot towing)under part throttle, it is possible for the compressor to produce a mild supercharge (boost) while the compressor inlet is actually seeing significant vacuum (due to the part throttle) This is due to the large amount of exhaust energy created as a result of the heavy load conditions. High exhaust energy levels cause an increase in turbine speed resulting in the mild boost/vacuum combination mentioned above. The deltagate eliminates this problem by controlling the actual pressure increase across the compressor from inlet to outlet. By constantly balancing the deltagate actuator setting in accordance with the compressor inlet pressure variations "

Which mean to me, that when i romp on the throttle, i'm creating a mild boost signal that the wastegate sees, causing it to open, creating the power loss and popping noise (due to the exhaust venting straight to atmosphere through the open wastegate) that i experiance when i give it a lot of throttle. Seems logical, right? Well, i guess not, because it ran exactly the same when i removed the vacuum/boost line from the wastegate. I'm stumped. If i'm running too rich, WHY? if i'm running too lean, how can i fix it ? Nothing in this turbosystem is adjustable in terms of fuel delivery, so what do i do ?
