HKS Wategate Questions.
 
I have an HKS standard wastegate, but I lost the instructions. It has two vacuum fittings, but I don't know which one does what. Thanks.

The top on is for the boost controller but I have no clue about the other. I too am waiting for an answer

The one on the side goes to a boost source. Anywhere that have boost pressure without manifold vacume like before the throttle body. Most used source would be on the turbo outlet.

Thanks guys. Hopefully I can figure it out before my car is running again. All that's left is that and waiting for UPS. Of course a better exhaust manifold would help as well...hint hint.;)

aaaahhhhh, so the top is for the boost controller and the side is for a non vaccume boost source. I was wondering also but I felt like a dumb ass and didnt want to ask on the forum :D oohhhhhh and thats why you tapped that thing on the turubo. Its all comming clear now :D

Excuse my ignorance, but why does it have to be a non-vacuum boost source?

the one on the top is for the boost controller, one on the side is before the t.b. top one after the t.b. don't make the same mistake i did and hook both up before the t.b. doesn't like it (well it was fun ran 1.8 boost)

Well Greg. nobody here knows who I am, except for you, so who cares. By the way, can anybody tell me when Apex started making seals? I've heard about these apex seal thingies everyone's getting.:rolleyes:

Is that the T-70? Looks pretty damn good.:yum: The T-78 is already in the car. So I tapped the u-bend I have coming off of it. I warapped the lines to the wastegate in heat wrap because it looks like they would get cooked without it. :eek:

Greg 08-01-01 07:24 PM

Its a 76 :D

That's what I thought. It looked pretty big, much bigger than my turbo.

Get one of those 6 rotor motors Hurley has. That should spool it.
