Hey guys, can anyone help me? I have a 84 GN with a rebuilt turbo/adj.wastegate from turbo city (10-89). The turbo is fine, with the wastegate wired shut I get plenty of boost(I get right out of it). But with the wastegate shortened all the way, so I'm just able to slip the rod over the shaft, I can only get about 12/lbs eventually it will creep up to 16lbs.
Any suggestions, I'm thinking that the wastegate accuator(the part that the rod is part of) is just worn out... .
A little history of the car's tune-up so far, all new vacuum lines, PCV valve, new welbro pump/hotwire kit/ adj. regulator, fuel pressure gage, fuel filter, plugs, driver's side exhaust manifold crack tig weld repaired, TPS set at .42 idle 4.85 WOT(had to cut the bottom moons away to get it), new plug wires will be on it Wed after they come in.
Long ago parts(10-89), I bought the car new 2-84, Kenne-Bell chip, oil pressure boost plate, air filter,cam,lifters,springs, timing gears/chain, boost,temp,oil pressure gages, port and polished heads(myself/machinist) tranny cooler, gutted converter, hooker exhaust from cat back.
Thanks in advance...
