What's up guys,

I'm trying to rule out the wastegate as being the culprit in my -getting

boost but no push-back feeling in the car (the go fast feeling)- problem.

Do I disconnect the line from the cylcing valve, or the line from the

wastegate? And when the procedure says "clamp" wth does that mean?

Do I have to clamp it shut? Clamp it against something?

Also, when the line is disconnected, and I'm ready to test the wastegate,

what precautions should I take to prevent destroying my car when I'm

doing the wastegate test?

Thank you very much.

It means clamp the line running to the waste gate, so no air can pass through it. Although I've never done it, I imagine vise grips would work, but you will want to pad the line (rag, rubber hose over vise grip jaws...ect) so it doesn't get cut.

Some self control of your right foot is needed to keep from destroying the engine.

Too hard to avoid!

Besides, what's the point of having these monsters if you don't use em.

I think he mostly meant that you need to watch out when running with the WG line clamped, as you can easily hit 25+ psi ... once everything is sorted out though, just let it rip

Sami gets it.

That's only doing the WG test. After that, what fun would it be without your planted on the floor.
