on this hks kit i got, the integral waste gate has two nipples on it, the factory gate had one, the instrusctions were in japanese.... so do i need to have pressure flowing to both nipples? i dont know where to go with this thing and i dont think the wastegate is opening with the way i have it currently set up



looks something like [|]---- with nipples coming out both of the []'s, ive got the hose attached to the end opposite the actuation lever.

 

it probably hooks up like an external wastegate. one side just goes to the manifold. and the other does too but that where you put the boost control in

hmm, ok ill try that then

 

ok, this thing isnt working worth a damn, i hooked up one side to just below the throttle body and the other to the nipple off of the turbo and boost is still screaming up past 15 when i get on it much. this is no good at all

 

What is the spring set at?

 

If its not opening at the desired boost level, you may have too big/heavy of a spring. I have the HKS 50mm and it sounds like you have the same. The nipple on the side goes to the boost controler.

 

You bought the HKS TO4 kit, right? A friend of mine has that kit. So I can go take a look at it when I get a chance.

 

yea

 

i think the wastegate just isnt flowing enough

 

That's very possible because most internal wastegates seem to have trouble with spiking.
