running off just the gate

**TQMB5** · 09-24-2008 06:36 PM

alright i need to drive my car to the shop to finish up the exhaust but dont have my ebc installed yet. Can someone tell me which line on the intake mani you run to the gate to just run off the wastegate? the turbo is 2871r internal gate.

thanks

You need to run a charge line (pre throttle plate) from near the turbo to the wg, NOT off the intake manifold

so if i tap into the hotside intercooler pipe with fitting that will work? also i left the n75 plugged in. do i loop the two that connected to the turbo and wastegate can i cap the other one?

yeah that should work but make sure it's really sealed around the fitting.

if you have a K series turbo you can just use bung on the compressor housing but i guess 2871's do not have one of those.

can anyone post a picture of there setup?

The silicone hose coming off the silicone connected to the compressor is the feed line for my EBC. Keep it as close to the turbo as possible and in the hardpipe is fine, just be sure to use some pipe thread tape or some type of sealant on the fitting

And the N75 doesnt have to be looped, that does nothing

alright awesome. Looks like jb weld and a barb and i should be able to fire this up tonight. im dbw and have so i have a map. would it be ok to drive without the o2 in the exhuast? i relocated the HFC to under the car and havnt welded the bungs in yet. i guess i could but would rather do it at the shop.
