[s-cars] UrS4 One Lap Atlanta Update

[Saltino Tom (adm1txs)]

I got a phone call from Keith yesterday about 5pm.  He said he was having a
problem with too much boost.  He asked if I had a spare WGFV, I did, so  I
ended up having him meet me at the shop at 6am this morning to have a look.
I really didn't think that the WGFV was the reason for too much boost, but I
changed it for him non-the-less.  I believe his problem lies in the
wastegate diaphragm.  John Cassara and I pulled off the wastegate cap for a
look. The diaphragm didn't have any visible holes so put it back together.
I also removed the Forge while I was in the area and replaced it with a
stock unit because I've seen what happens when the Forge seal comes loose
and slams into the impeller.  Anyway the problem still
persists....intermittent @30psi.  Check the codes with a 1552 and came up
with nada.  Now I wanted to replace the diaphragm but the wastegate was
still smokin' a$$ hot from the middle-o'-the-night run from Texas to
Atlanta.  So Keith took the new diaphragm with him and will do the swap
tomorrow morning before they leave his hotel.

How am I doing?  Well, I spoke to Keith around midnight last night, set the
alarm for 4am and went to bed, woke up at 4 and left my house in north GA
around 5, 6am I was at the shop pulling things apart, 7:15 Keith heads out
for Road Atlanta (had to be there at 8am) and I go grab some coffee.  Got to
work at 9, Coffee, Coffee, Coffee...................:-)

Good luck Keith, Stay Safe.
