bad wastegate, boostcontroller or what?
all right look my brother in law has a DSM and he is selling me his t3/T4E turbo and the thing that is buggin him and his buyer (me) is that the dawm thing wont boost over 12psi, now the seals were bad before so he got new ones but before he did oil was every where and im afraid his boostcontoller (GReddy profec b) may got messed up with the oil or the wastegate did, well another thing is that the bracket that holds the waste gate was "modified" (ghettofied) so that it would fit, the thing was big and hit the fans, after "fixing"that, it was alittle weaker (the bracket) u could of wiggled it allittle. weve used a chain and tied it to the fans so that it wouldnt budge to get it to 14psi before but thats all we could get, it was tied up pretty strong, i still think it my be the boostcontoller, you know that little black box that controls the boost because it worked great with the stock T25 the turbo is a t3/T4E 50 trim w/ .63 a/r the same one everyone is currently is talking about sorry it was so long but thank you all for reading this Helping me in advance (EDIT) I am a JACK@$$ and so dont read any more as to it will be pointless, i fixed the problem which was that the adjustible wastegate needed adjusting so now i will smack myself, peace
so is it an internally gated turbo or external? i think internal of what i could grasp from that mumbo jumbo. edit* ok you changed it and said its internal. maybe the flapper isnt staying closed all the way. i bet thats your problem since yall ghettofied it. try and get it back to how it came when he first got the turbo. i never liked internally gated setups.
the flapper valve is shut real tight, hes got a new turbo and external wastegate that he is gonna install (no more ghetto fixs) when i get it im not going to be boosting over 10psi for a little while but when im going to ill swap it over to externally wastegate (removing the internal one)thank you all for trying to help me i appreciate it
