the other one will be for a factory boost control system of some sort, air will be bled from it to increase boost. Not sure about the one on the compressor housing though

so the one on the wastegate runs to the inlet manifold. and if i plug my boost controller into that line, it will be sweet?

anyone else have a guess as to what the one on the compressor housing is?

by **Malcolm** » Wed Jun 15, 2005 7:28 pm

possibly, different cars do it differently, but as far as I can work out it would need to be open to atmosphere to control boost, with some sort of solenoid to control when (and possibly how much) it opens.

so you think once i get it going, run it with it as it is and see if it leaks or does whatever?

by **Malcolm** » Wed Jun 15, 2005 7:47 pm

well you should block it off at first otherwise it will leak air and the wastegate wont open. Then you can experiment with bleeding air using a boost controller to increase boost

cheers man, i mine just run a line between them, might just be like that little line (the other one off the wastegate to comp housing) then try later putting a boost controller in that line

thanks man

just to clarify what i can see in the pic...... there is two inlet on the wastegate actuautor and there is one tap on the compressor housing?
and on that pic u have the pipe connected to one of the taps on the actuator and not connected on the other end?..
if this is the case u have two options.. connect the other end of the pipe to the tap on the compressor housing... or block the tap up on the compressor housing and get a longer pipe and connect to the intake plenum. and the other tap on the actuator gets connected to ur boost controller.

nah that little line is connected on there. thats where that goes originally, bu there are an extra two which is causgn the confusion
