wastegate arm cause of creep???

[boostcrazy92tsi]

ive ported my wastegate on my 14b twice and ive installed the 34mm flapper door. i still have creep and im wondering if the length of the actuator arm is the cause of the problem? it seems like the actuator only opens the door to half of its total throw. if i could get it to open more i prolly wouldnt have creep at all. is there any quick fixes to this or an alternatives to the problem?? i ported the 02, gasket, and the turbine housing to the point where it could open a full 90 degrees. and i really dont wanna drop the whole assembly again.

can you see what is stopping it from opening all the way?
Do you have a cat?

nothin is stoppin it other then its out of travel. and no i dont have a cat which is the prolly the reason i have so much creep. i might try one last time and go crazy on the porting, but its getttin rediculous!!!

 

[Coldandafraid]

before you do that... do you really have your heart set on having no cat?

yea pretty much since i didnt get one with my exhaust... it would cost alot more to get it installed and its not somethin i really want. i think i would try a silencer in the muffler or somethin before i spend all that money on a high flow cat.

Read that...no cat is not the root cause of boost creep.

When you ported the turbo did you port match the O2 housing...how about the gasket. Having a step will only make your boost creep worse.

get back to us after ya try that stuff.
