Disappearing wastegate vacuum line
well today i went for a drive and my car will not get boost until 5500 rpms =/. So i decided to check out the system to find that the vacuum line for the wastegate has completely disappeared and the 4 bolts holding for the exhaust side of the turbo are missing as well.
I guess that would explain why I am having boost issues and my downpipe is tapping the side of my transmission. Has something like this every happened to someone? Where can I find a suitable vacuum hose and four bolts for the exhaust side of my turbo. I was going to check home depot today but I know they are special washers for the turbo and I didnt know which kind. |
just get lock washers. it shouldnt matter.
|
i never could get lock washers to work because after a few heat cycles, they lose their locking capability. get some lock nuts. the wastegate line just melted and fell off probably.
|
anybody know what mm hose the tial 38mm wastegate take?
I found these searching on google. http://www.paragonperformance.com/Silicone%20hose.html I wonder if you can get a braided line for vacuum hoses |
