You and Bill are the only out of town guys, so I will accommodate when ever you guys want. I would suggest both of you go Saturday morning, so if you have a problem you might have time to fix it.

Sounds great! That's exactly what I was hoping we could do. Do we have a set time to start on Saturday yet?

Just for planning curiosity how long does the tune take on the dyno? Just trying to figure possible end cost and timing.

Need some help... I was checking over the car today and found that one of my wastegates is leaking exhaust around where the valve stem is . Is this normal for external wastegates???

With my wastegate it has an open space between the diaphragm and body. It is leaking to the atmosphere on the body around the valve stem.

I ended up finding another wastegate to put on and not nearly as bad but still has a small leak that I can see but if its normal I won't worry right now. As long as a small leak doesn't affect getting the tune that's all I care.
