Hello,
I have have PTE dbb 5858 turbo kit from RacerX on my 93T with the following
Greddy Pex with KO racing 3" bpipe
Walbro 255
CRW axle cages
Berk SMIC
Tial MVS
Top mount manifold-vband
3" downpipe, re-routed..
NO MBC ( I do have a TurboXS MBC, but have to run just on wastegate for now, so mbc is out of the equation)
I had it all put on and then took it for a test drive. It's really super laggy and if I floor it I can get into boost, but it's real laggy and only gets to about 3psi.
So, I tore everything back apart to make sure I didn't leave anything like a rag in the ports in the head to manifold, intake manifold , or intercooler piping. I ran compressed air through the exhaust manifold and everything seems fine.
Put it back together, and of course I'm still having problems. Thinking maybe I messed up the diaphram when I put the springs in and it pinched.. possibly?? I should have checked that, but didn't.
I ran compressed air to the wastegate port and the valve is working fine. I ran compressed air to it on the car, working fine. The fire ring is indeed installed 100% for sure as I checked that too.
I also re ran the vacuum line several different ways to the MV-S and nothing changed. I also put a block off screw at the top side port of the wastegate and that didn't help either. I have the top port vented just like the instructions say. I'm at a loss, so I'm seeking help on here. Thanks!
This line is going to the 'air' port on the side of my wastegate.
Shows the connection at my 'air' port from that 5/16" hose that is show in the pic above. I have a metal vac line connecting the 5/16" hose to the metal line to the vac line leading to the waste gate.
pic showing the vac line off the stock intake manifold to the stock BPV.
I also ran the vac line from the intake manifold straight to the wastegate, and that didn't help. I ran the vac lines in several other configurations, and nothing helped. So, I either got some mystery item stuck in my piping somewhere, the wastegate is faulty or I have the vac lines somehow hooked up wrong. But, how do I know for sure the wastegate is faulty other than buying another one?
Thanks!!
