Waste gate vlv Just installed a BOV to FMIC. Started thinking, know that's dangerous. Why do we operate the waste gate from the manifold pressure? When we reach set pressure the waste gate opens and allows the exhaust to bypass the turbo, we get off throttle to shift and seperate the waste gate from seeing the turbo pressure. Would it more efficient to tie the waste gate hose before the throttle body? Anyone experiment with this?
its supposed to be before the throttle plate. look here www.tialsport.com and click on technical then wg install diagram
We are talking fractions of a second here, but with the wastegate referenced to the manifold, it closes as fast as possible when the throttle closes and causes manifold vacuum. If it were referenced before the BOV, it would take some tiny amount longer to close the wastegate, so in theory it would take longer to respool. I think you would be hard pressed to actually notice the difference.
