Ok i have a 62-1 and a Turbonetics Deltagate II wastegate. I know it's too small. But last summer it would hold me steady at 12 psi. This summer i have boost creep like a ****. So i ran a stright line to my wastegate from my turbo and tonight i put a manual boost controler on it. Still over boosting after 4.5k rpm. Now i was told that i can add a vacume line to the end of the wastegate where there is a second vacume connection. I was told it helps it open and stay open. Now from what do i run a line to it? Here is a really bad pic of my setup.

Is your wastegate ported at all?

no his wg is not ported. your spring might need to be replaced. if they gave you a 7 lb spring and you have it on 12 you might have just worn it out a little. I got like 4 different springs with dif. rates. but for the extra vac. you could run it to the manifold, I think. Not to sure but if someone has a definite answer that be cool.

well it seems i'm just going to do a fuel sysyem and tune for 20 lbs i hope it can hold it steady at that. If not i guess i'll just have to put a bigger one on.
