Cause mine doesnt

I may just have it vent to the atmosphere.

What did you guys end up doing?

I've read this complaint a few times. I don't believe that anyone couldn't get it on through. The key is to loosen all of the bolts, get all of the threads started, and then start torquing it all back down; simular to a wheel, you don't fully tighten just one lug nut at a time. One guy actually posted a picture and it wasn't even close, it looked impossible. It was very off, maybe a half inch or more. But he loosened everything and retorqued as was recommended and reported back that it was all fine with no leaks so....

Has anyone considered using spacers on one or both sides that'll probly work?

Do you recommend having it welded shut or are you talking about jb weld or something?

Is this for the real ptk kit or the knockoff?

I may try it one more time when i get back, but it was REALLY off.

I am using a Tial 38mm wastegate. All it came with was gaskets and bolts. Do I need a thick spacer/flange?

in the end you can get more out of an atmospheric dump id just cut off the flange and patch it

my ebay kit had 2 extra flanges in the wastegate box, if you need a half inch spacer im sure one of those would work just fine... did your kit come with the china WG??

Okay so is the WG distorted or are the flanges on the pipe off?

presto_z

iTrader: (12)

from what im gathering there is a 1/2" gap between the flange on the wastegate and the flange on the pipe. the pipe that bolts up to the WG outlet wont reach the WG..

now i could be wrong, this is just how Im imagining in my head

bboyferal

I understand the same... But is it because the WG is "Chinese"? Would another WG bolt up, or are the flanges on the pipe off instead, meaning any WG would be a problem? That's what I was trying to ask.

Mine isnt chinese. I bought a brand new Tial 38mm wastegate.

Dump it or make a spacer.

I'd loosen it all up and try it that way, if that fails. Weld the DP shut and vent it to atmosphere. I run my manifold set up vented and I like the WOOOOSSSSSH I get when I get into boost.

Do you think the woooooosh gets annoying?

Or do you only hear it when you go into boost?

frcefed98

iTrader: (16)

not at all and yes only when you are in boost and the WG opens.

Good, then I wonder about this comment:

Does this ebay kit (piping) come from China or something? Where was it shipped from?

bboyferal

iTrader: (9)

It's cool, but that dumped WG woosh ain't no whistle.
