Alright guys. I have a turbonetics deltagate on my car. It has a adjustable controller in the console that i guess is like a relief valve of some sort.
The problem is that even with the stock turbo, my car wont spool up for crap when leaving the line. I can punch it from a stop and it wont build boost for a split second, then it climbs up in PSI, first 5, then 10, then it shifts into 2nd gear and climbs up at the same rate until it hits 17, and it will stay at 17 until you get into the top of 3rd and bottom of 4th where it will start to creep up slowly.
My 60 foot times are always 2.3 or so because of this. I can build boost on the line, but it will still build slowly after i leave the line. It doesnt even spin the tires if i launch at 1700 RPM with no boost. It comes on strong about 1/4 of the way into 2nd gear and breaks the tires loose then.
I think its a problem with my wastegate. My car is not running rich anymore, and it does not ahve any exhaust leaks. I know that if i turn the valve all the way down it has 8 psi boost max and drops off at every gear shift and climbs back up as the RPMs climb. the more i turn the valve up the more steady the boost is. There is a adjustment screw on the top of the wastegate, would this have anything to do with it? i think the wastegate is not closing all the way or letting it off early.
What if the valve is leaking or something? What if i removed the valve from the console and the 20 feet of vacuum line that goes to it, and replaced it with a nice parker stainless steel relief valve about 6 inches from the wastegate? would this work better? Im wondering if the length of vacuum line could be a problem.
Thanks
