I just installed my boost gauge and I get a steady 20Hg idle but the closest I get to boost is '0'. I am clueless when it comes to the WG adjustment so I'm thinking that's the problem. Turbo spins freely, no problem there. After removing four broken vacuum caps, (installed in April and now useless...Chinese POS!!). I resorted to good old fashion bolt onto an old vac line. Looks butchered but I never had one fail...Lol :biggrin:.
Cars been sitting a few months now and rust, dust and fading accumulated in the engine bay. Nothing irreversible though. Come Spring I'll deal with it. The temperatures here are fantastic for cruising. Dry upper 60's at night. Dry upper 70's during the day. Please excuse the rusty faded look.
Anyway, what is the default position of the wastegate valve when the vehicle is off...closed or open? Hell if I know what type it is...this turbo stuff is still new to me. She runs like a top either way. Just not boosting. Got to get that right before I start on the spray kit.
