Just bought the Evo wastegates and put them on two K24's sitting on my workbench.

Question for the experts:

Are the wastegates supposed to be vacuum adjusted after the turbos are installed on the car or can they be adjusted on the work bench prior to turbo installation?

Thanks Gents

IMO

I will definitely install now that you have it on the workbench, just get a pressure tester ....11.5 psi start moving (opening) ...so on and so forth...

 

Would this gauge/tester work?

It is look good for me, I used a tire pump.

The EVO WG are awesome, I used to hold 1.2 bar until 4,400 rpms now look (the boost is much sooner 0.9 bar 3,200 rpms):

What ECU flash program are you using? GIAC?

 

Yes, GIAC Stage4.

 

I've read that the GIAC flash and waste gates are compatible, but if you try to use the EVO waste gates with a different program (i.e. REVO, Upsolute, UMW), you may encounter overboost problems.

 

this is the vacuum tester I am planning on using

But back to the question, new wastegates are on the turbo's- but do I do the vacuum adjustment before or after I put the turbo's back on the car?

 

its not vaccum presure you want its boost presure i found out the hard way becuase the wastgates work when presure is pushed in if you use a vaccum tester it wont do any thing and it might ruin the inside of your waste gate

 

I agree, the one I listed forces the air into the wastgate, I believe that one smistry007 listed actually draws air in.

 

My bad. This is why I don't do anything without consulting 6speed first!

 

I didn't know, well good!! that I have EVO/IA tunned my car ....compatibility is key ..further I am getting the EVO IC's (currently OEM) next week to round this kit at this boost level.

 

have kevins k16s adj wast gates 1/2 turn two much?? this shortens the travel assume it opens sooner ??? or am i going to get more boost??

 

Clock wise (looking from the back to front) will shortens the travel and will open late --> getting more boost.

I hope it helps

Regards

 

Is there anyone that knows about this possible problem. I have a techart ecu, and k24's. I am going to order the evo wastegates, just want to make sure I will not have any problems!!
