help setting a waste gate up

[The Funk]

Ok I have never ben around or set one up so I have no clue. I think I need a copper line running from my manfold to a t one going to the gate and another one going to a guage. Then for the other part I need one coming off of the boost side and t that one and have one side of it goinng to.the gate and the other one going to some sorta regulator. Does this sound right or not thinks for the help

Hmm, I would like to know as well for future plans...

the way we do them is: run a boost line to the side port of the wastegate, then at some point in that line cut a tee in. from the tee add some hose put in the regulator, on the other end of the regulator run hose to the top of the wastegate.

i'll be of no help on twins,,

fwiw you could do the same using drive pressure instead of boost. run full drive psi to side port and regulate d/p on the top port.

I guess the pics on that site are on dodges but u can kind of the get the idea with the one pic that shows the copper line running from the wastgate down to the manifold.

i could get pics but it would be difficult to see, the main thing that is necessary is full boost to the side port and regulated boost to the top.

when i do mine i will use boost, i had considered using drive pressure but i didnt want to damage the diaphram in the gate from all the heat.
