Okay so in my previous post i talked about installing a gt2560r Garrett turbo to my fiesta, well i finally did it and my car is slower then shit... Now my turbo was supposedly new, it looks brand new, and it doesn't sound like its bad either.
I have a 16psi actuator by tial, and perhaps i didn't set the preload right, im barely making like 13 pounds of boost and I did have to pull on the actuator rod to get it onto the waste gate arm (not very much) but I did tug it over the arm thinggy. If my base pressure on actuator is 16 why am i only making 13psi of boost shouldn't it at least make 16 because thats the actuators base pressure (i think) I'll post a picture of the actuator but im pretty sure the actuator is rated for 16psi base.
It also sounds like its fluttering which could mean that the actuator is too loose and causing it to open and close?
OR maybe my turbos a POS and doesn't work, that doesn't seem like the case but maybe. I didn't buy it myself it was somewhat of a "gift" i should say.
Dizzy tuner said he doesn't like the Gt2560r and tial actuator which is nice to hear since it took my freaking HOURS to install.
