Re: Wastegate Frequency valve tubing (Schrapnel Knobben (R))



Colin,
I have Paul's set-up in my 86 5Kcstq

>What diameter (ID) from WFV to wastegate (1/8"-3.5mm mine)

Use the same size has OEM (original equipment) which is 3.5mm

The hose in the bottom of the WFV goes to the turbo inlet, right bu the
turbo

The diaphragm device is a charcoal canister valve, it activates it.
the other line I think goes to the computer for pressure sensing.

The way Paul has it and I have it too, is in the engine bay, just coil it
and put it in an area that will not interfere with anything.
When you set up the pressure, put the gauge on your windshield and hold it
there with the wiper arm till you finish your adjustments. Use good hose
preferably the factory kind which is rubber covered with cloth.
Let me know if you need ay more help.
Read the instruction from Scott Mockery about running high boost, it is an
excellent essay, very informative.
let me know
