Turbo install

Yeah that's what I've been doing I just wanted to make sure I know it's a cheap wastegate but even if end up getting a turbosmart or Something better I'll still be under $1800 for this build

 

So I put the resistor in the connector for the EGR and the check engine light comes on and still. Does anyone think it could be one of these two things here

 

OK so the wastegate is good now it's at 3 PSI so I can put the manual boost to adjust up a little bit and I went to AutoZone and they did a code check and I have the code P0171 fuel system to lean go figure

 

Where do you have that Vac line from your FPR connected to?

 

Do you mean this if so to atmosphere

 

Does this need to be hookup to something

 

That's why your running lean. You need to hook that up to a boost referenced source. You can use one of the 3 points on top of your throttle body. That is what tells the FPR to up the fuel for boost

 

You can get rid of one of the vac hoses that comes from your EGR valve and cap it off at the EGR. Then hook up your FPR vac line to the nipple on the throttle body that you opened up by doing that. Your EGR won't care since you have the resistor installed now

 

Did you mean like this

 

Yeah you should be good now. Kind of scary thinking you were making 10+ psi with your FPR not hooked up!

 

I know right now it's down to 3 and I'll use the manual boost controller to bring it up to maybe 6

 

That'll work much better. 5-6 should be good on stock fuel and no IC. That's what alot of off the shelf kits are designed for

 

Why would a manual boost controller not adjust it stays at three or four and it never goes any higher no matter where I put it

 

What kind of MBC are you using?

 

Same as this off ebay

 

How do you have it hooked up?

 

The same as this diagram accept the pressure source is the intake manifold Brake
booster

 

Could the wastegate be stuck open or would that make 0 psi

 

That would make 0... All exhaust would bypass the turbo

 

Ok so maybe the boost control isn't working
