??? on the HKS Style 50mm

[dJ-SKYY]

I bought one for my vehicle and was curious if there is suppose to be a nipple or something on top or the side because there are 3 threaded holes? I got one with the 11psi spring....any help would be appreciated...

use the nipple on the side
not on the top. Use th one on the top lip with your boost controller
and go from there.

The side nipple is is for a direct vacuum source. the top side nipple is for feedback for a boost controller. The center top is for a spring compression bolt wich jacks up the spring rate and increases boost a couple points

i got the same one but i only got one L sahpe vacum hose connector to screw in ..is there suppose to be another one for the top lip hole

[dJ-SKYY]

man, I got NO connectors....anyone know where I can find the correct vacuum connectors? All I got was the gaskets/flange/and the 4 bolts to connect to the manifold...

To answer your question, most gates have two nipples. The side nipple is the pressure, it opens the gate when boost rises. The top nipple (large hole) is for the boost controller line and it will force the gate to stay shut till the boost controller opens it (boost control can be manual or electronic) and the top center hole (not all gates have it) is for a threaded rod that will compress the spring so it is adjustable.

Just checking, did you get this from me?


Thanks

where does the pressure line connect to ,am i right in thinking it connects to the turbo compreser housing,but there is no hole for the an fitting,do i need to drill and tap one,if so where and how

[98mkiv]

compressor housing works fine if you want to drill and tap it or you can just connect it to the port that is on the front of the TB that goes to the PS pump. You want the WG running of FMIC side of the TB, not the mani side of the TB.

FYI if you buy the entire kit from me, it comes with the fittings. They are located in the accessories box.

this is where I got it from: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120007102022&category=33742



.....by any chance, how much is the fittings that I need?

[98mkiv]

That's not one of mine, but I can still help you. Go to your autoparts store and pick up a 1/8-27 NPT brass barb fitting. Make sure the barb is the right size for the vacuum lines you'll run, and it's best to get right angle fittings. call me at 603-674-3468 if you have questions.

by any chance....do you have a picture of this wastegate with the fittings on? I just want to visualize how it looks like before I go pick it up...

[98mkiv]

I don't sorry..... Bring the gate with you to the auto parts store and get two right angle 1/8" npt fittings with the correct size barb (1/8" or whatever the vacuum line is)

I have some of those fittings if you prefer, I can send you a pair.

Thanks,
