Think of deletin my wastegate

[Turboed94]

Ok thanks

Where are you at?

 

[Turboed94]

Huh?

Can't delete the wastegate as it's physically a part of the exhaust housing. You can on the other hand either unplug it, or adjust it.

I would adjust to 12psi and leave it be.

With my intercooler, I can only get 8 psi. Before that I would hit 12 psi. After turning up the fuel, I can only hit 9psi but it still has more with the IC at 9psi than without at 13psi. Hoping to get a dps or moose soon, hear the moose is better, but I'm still trying to get over the sticker shock.

From what I hear from turbo rebuilders, deleting the waste-gate is quite stupid and hurts the life of the turbo. If you want boost like that, get a bigger turbo.

Okay that sounds pretty good. Do you know what kinda power these trucks make stock?

 

[flareside_thun]

I was asking where you are in Central Florida. There should be a label with power ratings for your engine on the driverside valve cover.

 

[Turboed94]

Ohh north Polk county area and it says like 190hp but it doesn't say tourque?

with my blocked wastegate and the pumped turned up a bit it can hit 15 psi.

 

[Turboed94]

How much is a bit? And why r ur Egts like?

I disabled the wastegate on my F250. Really it never gets over 7-8 psi driving normally. The only time it goes higher than that is when I want it too (playing around, dyno run). I'd never run it that way hauling a load. The increased drive pressure will likely kill it, plus it's inefficent at those boost levels.

Ok so I'd probably be better off adjusting it?

 

[FordGuy100]

Yes. Eventually I am going to do that to mine.

I would ajust to no more than 12psi. Thats the upper limits (if not exceeding) of what the stock turbo can flow.

I've heard of people on here gettin upwards of 17lbs on stock turbos though?
