My Notch... going Turbo EFI

spring pressure adjusted by a nut at the top. even with the most pressure, it produced almost no boost. the gate was used and i have no idea if it is even functioning. this should tell me quickly!

The diaphram inside of the WG could be torn, what brand is it? Have you done a boost leak test on the charge piping/IC (search the internet for how to do that).

Have you did a boost leakdown yet? Are you running a BOV, if so is it working right/plumbed correctly? What turbo exactly are you using, brand too?

That's right, on a draw thru, the throttle plates are on the intake side of the turbo. I've never run that style but doesn't the turbo need carbon seals. You should still do a boost leak test to verify there are no leaks. I stay away from all the "overseas" parts when it comes to turbo's, WG, and BOV's, that's why I'm not boosted yet.

this has a carbon seal and the turbo is from a friend that ran the it on his car.
last year when i tried to run it, i had lots of intake leaks and you could hear it and it ran like crap/wouldn't idle below 2200rpm. now it runs smoothly, idles at 800rpm and the only thing it isn't doing is build boost.
it's all part of the learning curve.

it's all a learning curve, it was a very expensive one for me Crying or Very sad

Well, using used parts effect things... seems I didn't have all the needed parts and didn't know they were missing. The WG needs a ring between the WG and the flange. Not there...

I'm hoping tomorrow (Friday) will bring the end of my saga with the up pipe. If so, maybe I will actually see some boost Exclamation

Looks like we will finish up the pipe early next week! It will be good to get back to it again Very Happy

Alright... I pick up the up pipe tonight. Then, I need to turn the flange for the wastegate a bit for a better fit of the WG exhaust pipe. Then I finally get to attempt boost again!!!!

Can't find a cheap commuter car to replace the squareback, so I have decided to press the notch back into daily driver status. So, the carbs will go back on the car again.
This will give me a solid car that I can transport my kids in!
