internal waste...

[TiiM iiS l3eAsT]

well damn i just found someone with the same turbo as mine and his wastegate is set at 5.5 psi damn that sucks....time for a boost controller....

this is what the guy said " the waste gate pressure is set at 5.5 psi according to my saab service manual. saab uses an electronicly controlled valve to divert pressure away from the waste gate when max boost is availble (which is 12 psi in a stock 900). If you want to use this turbo in a different car there are mechanical boost control valves that do the same thing as the electronic valve. I think its called a gillis valve. thank you for your interest."


also is there any way i can move the wastegate...i think its going to hit my block where the ac is supposed to go....

if you means you want take out wastegate..i think yes.. but i dunno what kinda turbo is it.. you can try get some block off flange for that turbo or maybe make yourseld one..

 

[bizoneoeh]

I was told by someone on here that you can switch you internal wg for an external one. Your best bet is just to use a snail off a DSM, that's if you're going junkyard turbo like me >`

 

[TiiM iiS l3eAsT]

yes mines off of a junkyard saab....

 

[Evan.]

you can get a higher rating PSI spring...

[Steven.]

no problem non of my shif is sellign anyway

 

[TiiM iiS l3eAsT]

how do u know the psi is set higher....man what am i tryin to explain its hard lol........like ok....on the controller when u turn the knob how do u know how much psi ur setting up lol....is there any knobs, clicks or anything to tell on the controller?

 

[Steven.]

you need a boost gauge, just find out what the turbo is normal, turn the knob a little, check agine, thats usually how all manual boost controlers are., never head of them with a click

 

[TiiM iiS l3eAsT]

lol hmm...let me see if i can find one...

 

[TiiM iiS l3eAsT]

[Steven.]

thats for the hold down screw. it dosent click.

 

[Shiznit]

all manual boost controllers have springs inside them, all they do is screw down on top of the spring.

 

[TiiM iiS l3eAsT]

thats looks werid^^^^^ is that for a external wastegate? how does that work with a internal waste gate? it goes from the compressor to the wastegate right? it just splits inbetween the line?

 

[Steven.]

its for a internal

 

[Steven.]

lol where the X is you cut and run hosees to the controler

 

[TiiM iiS l3eAsT]

yea looks good....but on shiz's he has like 3 places a hose goes....look....coming from the compressor side theres a T in it and it goes out of the left page....its on the bottom left one
