I also got confirmation that Pauer Tuning is no longer making the Tial wastegate kits. If anyone has any suggestions on where to find the necessary adapter for a Tial 38mm wastegate, please let me know.

Thanks.

Thanks. If I do turn the car into a club racer, it won't be for another 3-4 years. I see a lot of positive info regarding the Tial. I'm thinking maybe I should just go that route now and worry about club racing when that time comes.

I just had this very same situation happen to me this morning on my way to work. Started out and I was making boost fine (aftermarket boost gauge). The next thing I know, I have a smooth running NA 944. Great vacuum, still 20 inches at idle. Everything else is great, runs fine, accelerates smoothly, quietly, just makes zero boost.

I have suspected that the waste gate might be a weak link since I acquired the car back in May (previous owner shimmed it). Sometimes I would get inconsistent boost levels (have Lindsey MBC, 951Max chips, no cat). Last week it started suddenly increasing boost beyond what I had it set at, 17-18 psi vs 15 previously.

86 951 Driver,
I think I saw in your posts that you went with a Lindsey Dual Port. Sitll happy with this?

Thanks.

I haven't been on here in a while. But I still check it from time to time.

My car did burn up in a fire shortly after this. Before that the car ram great. Boost came on a bit sooner than when it was stock, and it complimented my other mods. I would recommend it. For the money though you can get a nice tial with adapter plates.

Tial is half the cost of the approved gate. The rules are now such that I do not understand a reason that PCA would continue the ban. Aftermarket chips are allowed and they allegedly have a way to measure boost, which is limited to 12 PSI but otherwise unrestricted. I have a Tial, though not on any of my cars, yet. I am hoping that PCA will consider allowing aftermarket gates in the future. I hope to lobby for it, but I will in all likelihood have converted by TUrbo to a 968, S2, or S if I can get enough weight out, and not be dealing with the complexity of a turbo in the future.
