Hey Guys

just gotta new engine bout 7000 km ago.. same time got turbo rebuilt.. didnt fully kick in turbo till full break in.. first off it ddint boost much . took it back. mechanic forgot to connect the wastegate.. after connecting wastegate, turbo berly goes.. only hits 5 lbs in 3rd gear.. leak of somekind?its white around exhaust manifold bolt.. or something else as well? and also heard forgettin to connect wastegate runs down the turbo bearings and seals.. i have intake and rb turbo back exhaust with proper fuel mods.. what should the boost pattern be?

thanks

 

they probbaly did a good jop porting the wastegate when it was rebuilt?? it "should" only be running 5psi. that is what a boost control is for. to raise it.

 

im going to have to find out if they ported it. we are very limitied to turbo rebuilers around here. by the way its a 1990 turbo.

thanks.. if they ported it, then no problems..

 

I have always got 7psi on all three of my rx7's

 

Im sorry i forgot to mention this but..

cars been sititn for 4 months because its slushy outside and it was stored for the winter. same gas been in there. could bad gas cause low boost?or low pressure for turbo?

thanks

 

Mine's rebuilt with a ported wastegate and I'm hitting 9-10psi in 3rd. 9-10.5psi in 4th. Goes like hell...and I'm running rich.

 

i just gotta stock rebuild, and a stock turbo.. but was wondering if bad gas causes low boost.. thanks. just dont feel that pull for some reason..before the rebuild i hit 10 lbs in 3rd and i found out it wasnt ported.

thanks
