ok.. so the wastegate actuator on my ct20b is fubared.. i get boost creep like crazi...
i was going to get an external wastegate to replace it and weld the internal one shut. i just hv a question about size. i was planning on getting a tial 38mm w/ either .5(7.252psi) or .6(8.702psi) bar... i hv an mbc and plan to run probably 10psi neway tho... however, the shop my car is at, a customer has a 48mm wastegate but wants a 38mm and he said that customer is asking if i want the 48mm turbosmart wastegate in exchange for a tial 38mm... i'm assuming 38mm is a good size for a 5sfte... would i b better off w/ the tial 38mm or the turbosmart 48mm? the 48mm seems kinda big... i'd possibly get a lot of lag? not sure what other pros/cons there would be between the 2? any help? thnx This post has been edited by elvasoshexai: Nov 28, 2007 - 12:59 PM -------------------- |

when you set your boost you have to set it in 4th gear. some people will try to set 15psi in 2nd or 3rd and then wonder why they hit 18psi on the highway.
