Wastegate

[yamaharider103]

has any one seen, or will unplugging the red line on the wastgate cause or create any problems?

yep...the problem that I have with mine now is directly related to unplugging the red line on the wastegate. I cannot keep my damm foot outta the go peddle. You'll love how much faster it spools the turbo.

Just remember you have to put that redline on a bolt or plug it some how. I stuck it on a the boot clamp coming off the turbo. Works pretty good right there.

I have been running that way for about a year now with no problems. Although you may need to invest into a map fooler. As the map sensor may send an overboost signal to the pcm which will cause the cel to come on. If that happens just clear the code and get a map fooler.

Also you should be running gauges when you do this.

thanks guys, i am running gauges. and i deffinetly noticed a diffrence. alot faster spool up time and +2 psi i can now reach 20psi.

IS THAT RIGHT? I was wondering about that myself
All I have to do is unplug the red hose and plug it? What makes it spool up faster?

[jblagg]

what does the red line do???

can i do this for a 6.0?

The red line is a pressure line to that opens the wastegate. If you remove the line it will keep the wastegate closed longer and build boost faster. I don't think the 6.0's have a wastegate do they?
