puck's not sealing

[kevin]

what do you do when the puck doesnt seal?i'm running a pte 49 with the stock down pipe.

Is the problem due to misalignment between the hole and puck or is it due to surface corrosion?

 

[kevin]

no corrosion,its not lining up.

Might have the wrong exhaust housing. Give PT&E a call.

 

[Kevin Turch]

I had the same problem, it turned out i had the wrong housing, sent for another DP. hole was 3/4 inch off.

Hey kevin
Mine my not fix it either!

 

[strikeeagle]

Are u the original owner of the turbo, and did you tell PTE that you were using the stock DP? If not, be alarmed...

 

[kevin]

i'm the 2nd owner,the turbo didnt have a housing when i got it.the guy i got it from had a housing but it was a stock one ported out??

 

[kevin]

i'm thinking that the car it was on had a terry houston dp

 

[The Radius Kid]

What diameter is the W/Gate hole and how much of it is uncovered?I'll agree with the THDP observation,as from what I saw,Terry moves the W/Gate puck about 1/16" closer to the centerline of the exhaust wheel.You could try RamChargers for an oversized exhaust puck[cheap] and install it in the exhaust elbow.If the misalignment isn't too bad,that should cover it.

 

[kevin]

i pulled my housing off again and i can see clearly now that the hole is not being covered all the way,the puck is bigger than the hole but the hole seems to be in a little.

just get a TH downpipe...you'll be a happy camper

 

[kevin]

got a spare for me?? lol
