I appreciate the motivational feedback! I try to provide solid and straightforward answers to my customers questions/problems. Doing a quick video always seems to help the most, plus it gives a little back to the turbo community. Hope all is well "down under!" -Reed
Thanks for the video. My come with two bottom open ports and 1 top swivel fitting. Should I plug one of the bottom port and put a fitting to the other bottom port for boost or just use the top fitting for boost. Also on the video, could you just use the top port for boost vice the bottom. Thanks in advance
All very good questions. Lets start with the 2 bottom (lower ports, closest to the valve). You will want to utilize one port as your primary reference to the compressor housing fitting, or any other fitting BEFORE the throttle body. DO NOT put any vacuum on this side of the wastegate...meaning you must tap into the system for pressure reference before the throttle plate. Seal and plug the unused port. Second question, can you use just the top port for boost? No, you cannot. As you add pressure to the top side of the diaphragm, it forces the wastegate to SHUT, therefore the valve cannot open. Hooking up the wastegate in this manner will keep it from functioning at all, and forcing the turbocharger to make all of the boost possible. Make sure to keep the top port vented to atmosphere, DO NOT plug it! This port is intended to be used with boost controller feedback only, and must never be sealed up. Let me know if this all makes sense, you need to get this right in order to avoid an overboost or lack of boost control situation. -Reed
@ Thank you for the info. I understand now the external waste gate set up. I have the internal vacuum turbosmart viwg wastegate and was able to download the install instruction. I’m not going to leave the two bottom holes open as it for positive pressure application and I’m not familiar with that set up but I will look into to learn it. Probably better to go with the external waste gate set up. So much to learn, Thanks again
Copper antisieze to be more specific and be careful to not over tight, with antisieze it require actually less torque to accomplish the same amount of clamping force.
Good info: this is how solenoids work
La mejor explicacion muchas gracias amigo!🙏
Just getting started with my first turbo build. This info is much appreciated.
very clear and informative, straight to the point
Thank you!
Really enjoying your content, well filmed and super informative. Love from Australia 🇦🇺

All awesome advice. Great reference video.
Rookie moves here, can't believe how little people know about these kinds of things.
