I know what the red line is for and it is pluged, what is the green one going into the intake tube for?? can it be plugged?? it appears that i now have no place for it..

 

The green is where the the excess pressure from the wastegate solenoid dumps, back into the intake.

 

don't have a wastegate any more..Plug it??

 

Yeah you can remove the entire wastegate solenoid and all. Red pressure line from below the solenoid tee's with red line and go to actuator, the excess comes back to the solenoid in the red line to the wastegate actuator which is what regulates the amount of pressure applied to the actuator by bleeding excess pressure off and dumping into the intake.

You can remove all of those components, just a soft code. 470ohm resistor would take care of that though.

 

Some WG solenoid info:

 

I was looking in my service manual for that image to try to explain it better, thanks Robin.

 

What would happen if you just let the green line dump into the atmosphere under the hood ?

 

Nothing but Joey doesn't have any use for it. As you know the stock intake boot has the little hole that would suck dust.

 

I was just wondering, Because I don't have the stock intake boot

 

I knew you didn't, but you don't have a hole in those fancy tubes either do you.

 

No

 

So on a stock truck if you plug the actuator what gains can you expect. Or what problems.

 

Plugging the red line from the WG solenoid to the WG actuator will net higher boost. The WG actuator starts bleeding off boost at ~ 5psi. On a stock turbo, benefits can be had by tightening (shortening) the WG rod. This creates allows moost boost to build before opening and still allows computer control with the red line connected. High boost is hard on the journal bearings and shortens the life of the turbo. You can remove the WG solenoid, as mentioned above, and install a strictly mechanically controlled WG controller, i.e. the Turbo Master WG Controller, which is easily adjusted to limit the high end of the boost and give better results across the rpm range. I chose to use the Turbo Master on my stock turbo (with ATS compressor housing) and later added a 1.0 turbine housing. This proved to be a very good combination for my truck.

 

How much do you shorten the rod by. If leaving the tubing alone.

 

Usually enough to barely get the eye of the rod back on tbe WG arm. You may have to apply air pressure to the actuator diaphragm to extend the rod slightly.
