question about vac lines if i remove stock wastegate...

[chumanga]

if i get another one of those plates to hold the turbo together and remove the wastegate, what do i do with the two vac lines that go to it? and if i do remove it will it through any codes?

im runnin a deltagate and a LT dp so i dont need it at all.... are either of those lines from the stock wastegate supposed to go to the delta gate i havent even looked at it so im not sure where they get hooked up at...

The LT downpipe comes with vacuum line routing instructions for a deltagate. I don't remember exactly how they go but yes, they have to be hooked up.

ughhh he didnt send me that...

ive only got a lil instruction sheet thats like a third of a page long..

hay where did you get that downpipe

hose

2 hoses going to the factory wastegate
1 hose goes to the vacuum block on top of throttle body---cap this off at throttle body.
The other hose-- starting at the turbo-goes into a Y --out of the Y goes to actuator, and the wastegate solenoid.
Do away with all this hose and Y
Leave the wastegate solenoid wired or it will code
Starting at the turbo again--run a hose to the bottom of external gate ( this will put pressure on the diaghpram to open the gate)
In this line you just installed---put a T in--out of the T --run a hose to a regulator -- out of the reg.---go to top of wastegate.
This line will allow you to adjust air pressure (boost) into the top of the wastegate, thus helping the spring inside the wastegate to keep it shut ( higher boost)
Clear as mud???---Best of luck

Email me if you want a 3 in. DP

I didn't know you made them anymore. I just had a guy that wanted a DP like mine and I said they weren't available. Let me know if you can still make another.

thanks alot lee

3 in dp

Cool 84, You are somewhat correct. I don/t plan on making any more, but I had 3 left from last winter. Sold one last week locally, have 2 left. Thanks--Lee

deltagate

Chumanga--what a name--from my experience with a Deltagate, assuming all is well, if you back the adjusting screw out until it is not touching the spring ( you can tell by the tension) then run it in until you feel it touch-- plus 1 full turn, lock it down there. You should have somewhere around 12-15 psi with out using the reg. From there use the reg. and continue to raise boost.

should i plug the vac line going to the wastegate solenoid?

 

[Lee Thompson]

vac. line

You will not be using your wastegate solenoid. It must stay wired. Do you mean should you plug the fittings on the solenoid. It doesn/t matter. Maybe I don/t fully understand the ?

 

[chumanga]

yea, i was just wondering if i need to plug up the solenoid where the vac line from the wastegate/turbo hooked up to it or just leave it off... u said to plug the one to the block on the tb i didnt know if i was supposed to purposely leave the solenoid unplugged.
