Pulling the Turbo

[powerstrokepribble]

I am going to pull my turbo out and install a turbine housing, but i was just wondering what the benifit of a wastegate was. I am going to have to disconnect it and if i have troubles with it can i just remove it and leave it off or do i really need it on there to keep from overboosting? Will it hurt my turbo to have it off? Also I am getting ride of my edge and getting gauges and a PHP chip.

do most people see problems with overboost with no wastegate?

What size housing are you installing? 1.0 or 1.15?

i am installing a 1.0 housing. well i dont even know if i will even see that much boost with the mods that i have in my sig minus the edge and adding a php chip with probably max 120 setting.

about 30lbs from what I am told.

Danger zone for longevity is over 28psi, in my experience.

1.0 housing with stock injectors and a hot tune will make 34psi(+/-) so be careful on how often you take it that high.

wow i cant even hardly make 25 psi with my current set up. i cant wait for my new chip now.
