    New turbo

    Hiya all found my issue to be waste gate stuck partially open and letting all my boost out most of my boost till about 4 k revs then I'm getting lots of boost and lots of hesitation low down in revs like the car is holding back... but the new turbo the actuator is plumbed into the housing so do I just t off that into the boost solenoid?

    You should tee the wastegate from the manifold. The reason being that you won't be accounting for any pressure loss caused by the intercooler so the controller will control to a fixed pressure at the compressor cover while the manifold pressure drops by some amount as airflow (engine speed) increases.

    If there is a fitting on the compressor cover just bung that up and tee a feed from the manifold.

    They're all the same. Mine is fine for months, then 3 or 4 things come at once. Once you sort the initial probs it'll be fine.

    I isn't know yet been told I need a t28 turbo... and on mine I think the waste gate weld has snapped hence why boost is coming on hard after 4k revs but you can hear it spooling up much lower in the rev band

    They aren't sold as T28s any more unless you're buying second hand, you'll want a GT2560r which is the ball bearing version, Garrett don't offer the journal bearing version any more.

    Ahh thanks mate I'm really loving the help people on here give for a newbie to these cars thanks for the help first in going to see if it is defo that weld broken because it dies still sound like it's building up boost just not much and certainly holding back alot before 4k revs

    I would make sure it is the turbo. It's a lot of effort and there are extra costs that add up. If it turns out to be something else.

    It doesn't sound like turbo to me mate. It's more like maf or coil packs.

    Yea I'm thinking I'll unplug the maf see if she changes at all because I'm looking at the revs atm and she feels like she's misfiring

    So I unplugged the maf and idle was still the same but I couldn't rev the car so I'm guessing the maf is okay

    But since I plumbed the Westgate into the intercooler pipping it feels so under powered

    That doesn't mean your maf is ok.

    If it was plumbed in the way you say then you will have less power now.

    The wires are bare going to the o2 sensor could this be a cause of miss fire and low power
