Weak wastegate? With video.

Post by doctor_tom »

Hi,

can you tell if my wastegate actuator is weak from this video?

I'm getting huge lag from 1-3000 rpm as I come on boost, 0-0.8 bar and I think it is because my actuator is very weak. I have an electronic boost controller but I think even that isn't stopping the effect.

I connected a foot pump and as you can see it is showing 0 pressure on the gauge and opening, although there much be some pressure.
