I just went out to the parking lot and confirmed that the wastegate is stuck open. I started the car and reached under to feel the dump pipe off the wastegate. It started to warm up immediately, within 60 sec it was hot.
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.

My advice: don't "build" anything. Buy a CR car that's already done and ready to race.

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.

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.

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

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.

A quick reply to the suggestion of buying a race car. Yes, in the end that is usually the easiest and cheapest route. However, there are some extenuating circumstances here. The 951 will be my son's daily driver until he leaves for college. It has already been, and will continue to be (whether we like it or not!) a source for "father son projects". We will have some fun working on it, modding it, autocrossing and DEing it. When this phase ends, then I may convert it to a club racer.
