Quit S/C:Bought Turbo: Wastegate nightmare.

mertdastan · #1 (**permalink**) 02-01-2003, 08:19 AM

I am switching from supercharging to turbocharging. I am willing to take some excitement and discover as much as possible turbocharging.

Now, if I buy a wastegate (external) from a supplier and an electronic valve controller will everything be OK? Can I adjust boost in cabin easily? What are the problems and nightmares waiting for me?

on my car and its fine

Yeah... like Joey said ... if you do everything correctly ... it will be fine. (Unless you have a friend like me who stuck a small aluminum cylinder inside one of the vacuum lines going out from the boost controller.) He forgot about it ...and i was pulling my hair out for months ... before i figured out what was causing the problem.

Mert with all the power you are getting from the SC why do you want to go turbo??

I thought the quick spool up of the ASA supercharger basically provided with a turbo like setup?
