How do i wire open my wastegate so it wont hold boost???

a forum member told me b4, sumthing about the c-clip but i dont remember everything,

Pics would be great!

Thanks!!!

 

All you have to do is remove the c-clip holding the end of the wastegate actuator rod on the arm that moves the flap. You don't really need to wire it open, as the exhaust pressure will easily push the freely swinging flap open and hold it there.

Note that this won't necessarily lower boost, as the wastegate is wide open at full boost anyway. Boost will rise much more slowly but if you keep your foot down you will probably make full boost or close to it.

 

im curious, why do you want extended turbo lag?

 

maybe he has a new motor and a lead foot...?

 

trying to.... pass sumthing.......

 

oh... maybe wiring it open maybe better, that way the tech doesn't here a "knock" noise..

 

kool, is there any pics or sumthing in the FSM orHaynes Manual???

 

its pretty straight forward... 1/8 inch rod little below the turbo assy, closest to the fender wall.

 

Can someone circle it for me (the c-clip/rod) (if its in thte image)

 

look at your bottom pic. all the way to the right, you'll notice a plate. look at the back of it and there are bolts holding it on. take em off. you'll see the wastegate when you do that. look up ted's site www.fc3spro.com look up how to > port wastegate. it has all the pictures you need from there.

 

hhmmm, so i have to take the assembly apart?

 

just remove that clip and use some bailing or safety wire to hold the wastegate open.

 

WTF are you talking about??

That doesnt have jack **** to do with what he asked.

 

lol

btw, the car shouldn't even be in boost while doing the smog test so i doubt this will help.

 

does that apply to the s4 to or does the twin scroll still make it boost normal since its a dual wastegate set up ? i only ask becuase i havent figured out why my car leans way out under minor load and boost so im going to rewire the pigtails on my secondaries and change out my map sensor thats on the way to my house now..

 

The twin scroll and the wastegate are totally different. The twin-scroll system does not control boost; the wastegate does. And S4's don't have a dual wastegate set-up.

 

oops, mine is a s5... does that make a difference?

 

No.Look at the wastegate arm, push a little c thingy out, then move the rod out, and you are done.
