Un hooked waste gate today and went for run on Interstate. A lot of memorial day traffic and I could not stay in it long before catching traffic. Built boost slowly for sure, have not been able to keep my foot in it for so long. Built boost up to 10-12 lbs then would shift due to RPM's...

Thanks for the reply Dennis. I thought of going with Alky, but want to keep that as last resort. I am getting tired of putting 100 octane fuel in the car just to be on the safe side though. If I can't get a fix, I will go to Alky. Thanks again, Mike

What do you think NCTURBOS??

Thanks for the reply Jim. I will talk with engine builder about making waste gate hole larger if possible. I will try un hooking the waste gate rod tomorrow and see what I get. I wanted to start tuning around 16 lbs because I would like to run 93 octane on a regurlar basis with possible alky...

OK, any idea where we go from hear? Should I un hook my wategate rod and see what happens? If it does not get high (19+) as before, does that indicate the new waste gate actuator may be bad? If it still goes up to 19+ what then? Sure would like to get it down in the 16 range so I can...

Engine Builder, Any more room to port out the wastegate hole?

Can't find any numbers on the wastegate actuator. Should there be some on it??? Thanks

Thanks for the thoughts and reply Patrick. I actually thought of the same thing on the actuator. I looked on the stock one I pulled off and could not find any numbers on it. I will look better, but did not see any. I thought if it had numbers on it I would check it out for maybe a HD...

I will relay the info. to the builder and see what he says. Thanks again for the help!

Thanks for the reply TurboJimmy. This has been baffling me for a long time now. Ready to get it fixed and enjoy the car. By "plugging" I ment we took the car waste gate control out of the picture. This basically routed the "Y" hose from turbo to waste gate actuator. When that did not...

Boost can't get lower than 19 lbs. I am familiar with this car and can add some more detail. We do not believe the engine boost has been right since the rebuild. Could not get the RA chip to work without some knock and it would not idle good. Changed to Turbotweak chip and idle problems went...

I have only had this a short while and it is like new. Carry case, disk and all hardware like new. Works perfect! $160 shipped in US.

Hey Shane, thanks for all your hard work on making the Rock come through as a great event. It was good to mest you and many other TB guy's!! Wish I had time to visit more, but was trying to make the first runs with my 87 GN down the track without KR. Nothing like Octane I guess... Also a...
