That looks like the kind that bleeds off to the atmosphere and it looks like its hooked up correctly for that application. it's not a good system because you're bleeding off metered air, although not very much. I would suggest you do like I did and buy a turbo smart brand wastegate, and a good...

Its hard to say whats best when you don't know what you have. I have a wastegate just like that and it only ever made 14 psi and wan't very adjustable, if you have the same spring I had in mine then I would eliminate the brass fitting with the knob (which in guessing is a bleed type boost manual...

I'm right around New Orleans, and don't know of anyone near by that is familiar with these cars. I understand and agree that I am not familiar enough with these cars to fix this, which is why I came here looking for advice. I know I can send the car somewhere and pay someone to fix it. I have a...

This has been something I have been putting off for almost a year now. I can't put it off any longer I need to get this car back on the road. The last problem I had was a volt light that won't light up, the car left me on the side of the road and when I got it back to my shop I started to take...

Woah now, slow down. What exactly was it that you found in your closet?

So I took a mini-road trip (2 hours each way) with my buick. Made it out there fins, but only made it 1/2 way back. I pulled into a gas station to fill up and when I went to leave the battery didn't have enough juice to turn the car over. "No problem," I thought, pulled out my jump box and...

I did when I installed mine. I ported both sides, I guess you could call it porting. Really I just cleaned it up and belled the opening, I couldn't tell you if if really helps, bit I figured I would do it while I have everything out and apart. I did take a good bit of material out because the...

I didn't have the AFR on it, it was just 3 pulls on the dyno.

Thank you for all your responses. I guess its time to turn up the boost and see what I can get away with. Also the boost is not always very consistent this morning I hit it in 3rd gear and it shot up to 15#s then crept up to around 17#, maybe I need a better wastegate?

LOL The alky is down the road, but I WILL get it eventually. I just bought a 91 MR2 turbo and I told myself I would get that back together and on the road before I bought an alky kit....but well see how long that idea lasts. I also have a greddy 25G turbo sitting on a shelf in my shop and I have...

And really, I'm kind of disappointing. I made 269HP and 307lb.ft. of torque. I was expecting more. The car was running rich and it was only at 15 lbs of boost, so I think with a better tune there is more power to be had here. My TT chip is for a te-60 and a front mount intercooler. I have a...

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but if you don't have a serious response to the thread you really shouldn't post. Now when I actually use the search function all I come up with is a bunch of threads that say "herp a derp just search for it." and I'm sure you understand just how useless that is...

The only real way to know what kind of turbo that is is to pull off the compressor housing and measure the wheel. Otherwise you are just guessing. For a year I thought I had a te60, turns out I have a te34, they both loo identical.

I have an F-body radiator in south Louisiana and my car hardly ever goes past 160 unless I'm in serious traffic, then it might creep up to 180.

Well I know in the case of my WRX STi, the only way you will drop boost is if the BOV opens and vents the pressurized air. The BOV only opens when the throttle body is slammed shut under boost, if you flat floor shift it you will enter second gear under full boost. Now, like I said, it's not a...

Simple, just don't let the throttle close. The throttle closes and the blow off valve bleeds off the boost so it doesn't shock the compressor. If you keep the pedal on the floor you won't loose boost. Not that its really a problem to loose boost between gears. Think about it, you wind out...

I spent some time in Bay Minette, it's not my kind of place. Too small, too quite.....and I like small and quite. For the record I am from New Orleans, and have spent some time in Baton Rouge and that's a great place to live.

I have a larger turbo I can put on, but its a T3 flange with a V-band to the downpipe, so I would need a lot of new stuff to install it. Its a pretty good size turbo too (60mm inducer/84mm exducer) so I would need larger injectors and a high stall torque converter for sure. I figure it would...

The info for the chip is: TT 5.6 5943 42# Street 91 19-17 degrees 15-17 psi For a te-61 and a front mount I/C (which I have a Dutt neck SLIC now if it matters) Its not something you see a lot of people doing, but its been around a long long time. In fact had it not been for this kind...

I will get the specs off the chip later today. The reason I want the pre turbo water injection is to move the efficiency range of the turbo up. I am kind of disappointed that I have a te-34 instead of a te-61. I was hoping to run low 11s and try to push it into the 10s, which I think will be a...
