uhm... why you didnt replace worn rattle, for illustration "Turbo Wastegate Rattle Flapper Repair Kit 03C145702L For VW Golf Jetta Passat" ... ? instead of change of replaceable part you made irreversible intervention into turbo chassis ... i like your solution because is a cheapest but how long it last? thx
gr8bart1 I was just gonna message the same thing, just bring the turbo to any exhaust shop and tell them to weld it shut, probably only cost you 15$ in labour
Martin from Rs-entholpy told me the some exact thing on my KA-T. I was getting a fuel cut at 5k rpm. I send him pics he told me I was off on timing too. I fixed it and the problem went away but I felt no power. Ended up blowing my rings
Literally did that today on my ka. Same turbo. Was spiking at 14psi. After the port job brought it down to 6lbs exactly. Made the actuator a little tighter but stayed at 6. Have you been able to turn it up?
BuiltLikeThis tightened mine down but only got up to 8. I need a boost controller to get it to 11. What boost controlller you running and how is it setup
ACEofCLUBZ101 damn. Im using a hallman because its a no leak system. So its supposed to build boost faster than a bleeder style. And you just put it in between the line from your turbo to your wastegate.
So you have a 6 psi actuator and it was shooting 16 psi.. cuz i have the same issue.. i havea 4 psi wastegate actuator and after 5k rpms it start building psi like 5 6 7 8 and it goes all the way to 14psi.. dont know whats the problem..
BuiltLikeThis been watching your vids. I just bought a 95 zenki shell. Have 2 ka engines and kinda feel like making a ka-t. I also have a s15 t28 I can use
