So I've been drivin around with this busted wastegate and I haven't had time to do anything about it. It sucks pulling off the throttle so early to keep the boost from going above 6psi. Anyone know if I can troubleshoot it in any way. I know a new one is not expensive, but I haven't gotten the opportunity to buy a new one, and I have the long weekend to work on the car coming up. The stock wastegates have an adjustment dont they?
Also, I have been gettin a pretty strong turkey sound when I let off the gas. I was thinking my BOV was just a little too far from the vacuum source. But I was also reading about compressor surge, and how it can bascially cause the same type of sound. It'd be disappointing if that was the case, and I wasn't able to get rid of it. It'd also mean that the turbo I got on the forums not only had a busted wastegate, but a beat up compressor.
Anyways, I'd love it if someone could hit with with some wisdom on this issue before I start moving my BOV around and takin sht apart. In the meantime, I'll be reading as much as possible.
