    Help! How to put hose on wastegate nipple while on car

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I just finished turbo swap and car is running like shit. Looked at all my connections and noticed that the passenger side hose is not on the wastegate nipple. How in the hell can I get in there to slide the hose onto the nipple. Has clamp still on it. Also is this is what would make my car run like shit and so rich and cost me $30 a day in gas??

    what kind of turbo? stock or ko4s? i would c if u can get to it with a pair of long niddle nose pliers and spray some wd40 on the nipple so it slides on easier. tha will def make ur car run like shit or richer because ur turbo its not boosting. hope that helps

    it will also cause a vacuum leak, which is what's causing the running rough and rich.

    think about it, the MAF meters air and tells the ECU how much air is being taken into the motor, so if you've got a vac leak, you're sucking un-metered air into the motor, and the ECU cant account for that so it tries, but as a result it runs shitty.
