say you have a journal bearing turbo you are pushing pretty hard. say your wastegate sticks shut.
then what would you say?
I would have to guess, i dont personally know, perhaps someone else might?
It would prolly be really screaming, possibly surging, with boost, DP, EGT's way over there normal mark? Im going to run 2 boost/DP/EGT gauges on my twins when i get it on, if i see numbers out of normal parameters, theres a clue somthings up. I dont see why a guy couldnt make a warning system either.
I would bargain to say, if somthings going wrong, im prolly going to notice it. Im pretty well in tune to how my vehicles are operating, not a surefire system by anymeans but it has worked well in the past. Remember, even a nice expensive part can fail too, anythings possible. Using a cheaper part has more calculated risk, ill be the first to admit that. Im willing to try the OBX gate aswell. Im my application, (S472 and IHI) im not too sure its going to be needing the gate a whole lot anyhow, least not till i build the motor and so on. I havent heared anyone state its a piece of crap? If someone knows or has used one, lets hear it! If i can afford a TiAL, HKS,ED, JGS or any other name brand gate when the time comes, Ill consider, I REALLY like Tial's 60mm but its very expensive. We'll see, as for now, plan is to use the OBX copy.
The choice is up to yourself, i cant speak for somthing i havent made myself or used yet. Anything may or may not happen? Im just stating what im going to do and what seems plausable to me
