Lindsey Racing DP Waste gate in single port mode
Ok I'm will be using the LR DP waste gate in single mode. They had to make a mode to to allow this. I'm not sure what they did other than install an insert in the side port that has a hole in it.
They also did not supply the barb fitting for the top port, so il have to have them send me one or try to find one at the auto parts store. There are no directions for using the WG as a single port.
Can someone explain how to connect this? I assuming I'll be using the cycling valve hose and attaching to the top port. But what about the side port that has the insert with the hole in it?

LR Single port (one fitting)- youll use it exactly the way the stock one is set up or mbc configuration.
If you have two ports that means you're using a dual port wastegate, if you decide to use it in "single mode", which defeats the purpose, then just don't connect anything to the side port. and connect everything the same as the stock setup.
The idea of the dual port is to allow you to change your spring pressure and therfore change your boost level at will. if you dont send any pressure to the side port then your spring pressure is the pressure of the spring alone, which is the same as a single port.
In my opinion, if you have a dual port then i would use it properly, buy a mbc, set it and forget it lol.

No. let it wide open, basically what you’re doing is when you boost and the boost pressure forces against the spring pressure to open the wastegate from the top of the diaphragm, the air on the bottom of the diaphragm will be relieved through the side port. This just reduces unnecessary pressure on the diaphragm. If you have a stock wastegate you can see the small holes on the side which do the same thing.
