Default Does LPE Use Internal Or External Wastegates ?

Controller might be overboosting. I may have hit a switch on the
head unit and the switch setting is dependent on which type of Wastgate.

Internal Mark. External on most true racing applications. Good Luck

If its a Blitz unit IM me and I can walk you through making sure the unit is set up correctly for actuator style waste gates.

Mark,

Yours are internal as you can see them mounted on tour turbos from past pics. you posted.

Any word yet on where you stand?

:cheers:

Thanks VETZILLA - Its an HKS EVC. HKS says that there is a switch on the head Unit dependent on the wastegate but I can't find this switch. Also, it was set up by 21CMC and it was fine when they set it up. But I'm overbosting at times. I did find some kind of regulator that inserts into the MAF that was out just a hair. I pushed it back in - I don't know if this is gonna solve it.

With the controller off, she never exceeds more than 8.6 PSI. But I'm protected anyway with it on as I have a 11.5 PSI protection setting on the HKS EVC. Its just that even on low boost setting, it sometimes climbs to high boost. It sounds like something simple. I just hope I can figure it out - don't want to have to to shell out more $$$ for something simple.

Mark,
I meant on your turbos do they need to be rebuilt and did you find out why you were having the blow by oil issues? :confused:

Thanks BTY on the :thumbs: for my motor. :D

I think you may be getting me mixed up with Mean Green the Moderator, who's name is also Mark. He bought an LPE TT Car not long ago and started a thread on oil issues and possible turbo rebuild. I think he took it to a place in Tampa, not too far from me actually. I'm curious myself as to how he is making out.
