WJM Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 The wastegate on these VF7's are too small. I get boost creep...and WHAM, fuel cut....and im not even upping the boost on purpose. time for a deadbolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WJM Posted November 29, 2004 Author Share Posted November 29, 2004 i didnt spend all that $ on a TWE DP just to swap turbos. im staying with stock and playing with it for a while. cliff notes: WJM has no cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddcomp Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 so go find a bigger waste gate or one with with a adjustable arm on it the turbo on a saab 9000 has a threaded turnbuckle on it to preload the wastegate can so it can be adjusted to open at higher boost with less creep also has a bigger can i will be putting one on mine eventually <the whole can> just have to redrill the mounts on the can to bolt onto the suby stock turbo bad part is it opens at 5psi <large can more surface area on the diaphram so it has a larger heavier spring in it with a apc box or any other boost controller it will work fun up in he 10's 15"s and higher i am pretty sure you could also cut the wastegate arm on your stock one and thread both halves and add a turn buckle setup with 2 jam nuts to increase the loading point on the wastegate spring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallyruss Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 thats one of the reasons I went TD04 no more boost creep. you can add an external waste gate. but you would need to modify that nice new up pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
