vacuum wastegate question??
 
Should the bar on the wastegate move on its own when your driving or what im pretty new to 6.5L so i really dont know. Also i plan on buying the turbo master boost controller form heath diesel sometime soon but until then i want to make sure everything is working right.
Thanks

Yes it is, that's how it controls the amount of boost.

right thats what i thought i think mine might be jacked up just means i will have to speed up the buying process:yeah:

the turbo master is 110% worth buying. that vaccum gives you like 3-5 psi, heath can give you at least 10:jump:

oh very nice how hard is the install im sure it cant be hard

ebarresi5894 09-16-2011 08:39 AM

it takes like 20 mins. you have to take off the air box and thats really it. watch out for the bolts on the heat shield on the turbo, spray them down they could break

do i need the vacum pump elimination belt??

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

Also if i wire the wastegate shut what exactly does that do??

ebarresi5894 09-16-2011 09:59 PM

no you dont, what i did was took the bottom half off the vaccum pump so it runs as an idler, and wiring the wastegate shut is a good way to grenade your motor. it over boosts the motor beyond belief. i wouldnt do it!!:scare2:

cthomas7192 09-17-2011 08:36 AM

yea i will not be doing that:nope: but will be buying the turbo master in a few days:yeah: and also ive been looking to get mabey the kojo tune but i cant find it anywhere i search?

get the max-e-tork from heath, anything heath sells is usually top product for the 6.5
they know their stuff over there
