#16782, "westgate probs."




          

My wastegate is stuck shut and eventhough it is fun to have 12psi I really don't have the cash for the eventual build up if I keep it up.
Dino I know you had this prob before. How do I get it unstuck so that it opens?
thanks.

Make sure it's still getting a boost signal.. Check all your vacuum lines, as well as the nipple on the turbo compressor.. if you're running an MBC, make sure that it is actually moving air and not stuck shut.

Luck..

I have the wesgate connected to the intake manifold. I think it is getting a boost signal since it opened once yesterday but I will check the hoses again.
now what is an MBC??

duhhh! forget that last question. the only control that I have is the little screw on top of the westgate. i turned it one and a half turns to the right. and like I said it opened once. at about 5-6psi.

Take it out and see if it opens.

Thanks Dino, I will check on that, think if I put some kind of lube in there it will help?
