So I finished installing a t3 super 60, intercooled custom kit. Fuel upgrades are 30# injectors, fmu, walboror pump, and afpr. I have pics but my computer dosent feel like uploading them from my camera.


Now for the problem. I dont know if im making boost or not. I know my turbo is making boost because I can hear my wastegate dumping (external with open dump) But im getting no psi at the manifold. My boost gauge reads 20in/hg at idle and rises up to 0 but never makes boost. Sometimes it only gets up to 10in/hg. I think the blow off valve isnt staying closed im gonna add some washers.

Could the probem be that i have my wastegate hooked to my compressor. Should i run a vac line from the intake maniflod to the wastegate. How do you guys have yours?
What is the normal difference between pressure at the compressor and pressure at the manifold.

I connected my boost gague directly to the compressor and it made some boost, About 3psi. I didnt want to rev it too much.

Any questions/ comments are appericated.

Get on aim dude. I have been trying to reach you.

Yeah on my 300ZX Turbo the waste gate line goes to a manifold vac source.

I have the wastegate hooked to the compressor on my car with no problems.

i would run it to the intake manifold, but its realy not gonna make too much difference maby a lb or two at the most. what is your wastegate set to open at, check all your conectors for leaks? can you hear the bov going off?

Do you have internal or external wastegate. Also should the bov be open at idle?

The bov goes off but its not very loud. Wastege is 5.9 psi tial 38mm.

Check your charge pipe connections.

Buy stuff from CarCustoms Ebay! Won't be disappointed!

Are you in neutral or actually driving the car? I can rev mine to limiter in park and barely make 2 psi but while driving it will go all the way to where i set it .

I was in park and I think that is part of the problem. I took it out on the road for a litte bit and it seemed to be doing better... Still didnt make boost, but I didnt push it that hard. The wastegate opened and the bov went off tho... so maybe my boost gauge is retarded.

I got my camera working so here are a couple pics.

I went through the same thing your going through when i first started my car i was convinced something was $#@%'d up but that night watched my guage eventually climb as i drove it. Also check to make sure the boost guage line isnt pinched especially if its one of those nylon ones. You sohuld be able to blow into the guage and make the needle move a lil bit ( if u have any lung capacity ). Remember your only gonna be gettin full boost if your really on it Good luck working out the bugs and nice set up.

if your car isnt under load your not going to build boost,



R.I.P. Brian Klocke, you will never be forgotten

Exactly what Brandon said.

That setup is nowhere near pretty... functional but not pretty.

Are you sure the welds are 100% good?

Take it for a ride... and test your boost gauge and check the lines. Even at mild throttle I can build a pound or two of boost.
