So I spoke to Mountune today about the WG upgrade. It is going to be a $90.00 upgrade part, it will be available in about 2 weeks. I think what needs to be understood here is this wastegate will allow you to take this turbo to the max. I think the unspoken piece here is anytime you take anything to the max, you have risk. They were guessing but were thinking about a 20-30hp gain between 5K and 7K. That does not seem to be worth the effort or risk it could bring. The turbo is functioning as designed with the WG that is installed, and does so better than advertised. If you wanted more power you should have opened your wallet and bought a bigger turbo. Mountune, has a reputation of building quality products that work and for the most part allow people to continue to keep their factory warranty. There is not another player anywhere in the world that can say that including your beloved Adam, not to mention the experience Mountune has over Adam. With that said, If you want more power, I am certain Adam has a solution for you.
Wtf are you on about? I don't even use Adam for tuning. And haven't in over a year.
Randy does all my tuning for this turbo.
Second, what risk is being taken with allowing this turbo to hold boost better with the new WG? The CHRA is nowhere near mechanical limits in this turbo.
Literally no risk is being added. The turbo is well within mechanical limits from Garrett and my motor is way below mechanical limits.
Soooo?
Third, I was one of the first to run this turbo, i literally haven't complained ONCE. I've even said several times, this WG isn't a "problem" at all. It's just that some that are running this turbo want more power.
I'm perfectly happy with what I'm making.
You seem confused..
The only reason I even mentioned Adam to you in the first place is because you refused to believe the Mountune calibrator that said the WG would help top end boost. So I figured you were a different tuner fanboy[emoji23]
