Anyone Want to know What Driving a NA LNF Feels Like?
 
Well, for a while now my car has been much slower and laggy as can be lately. I knew something was not right with the car and from logging it I knew that the fuel trims were still dead on so it is not a boost leak. Well, I just got out from under my car and I found the wg arm is not even connected to the rod anymore and it looks like the outer nut fell off the end of the rod. :cussing: I wish they would have put loctite or locknuts on there. :cussing: I need to find a nut that fits so I can fix it. Car is slow and loud right now. It sounds like any other na catless 4 banger now. :lol:

yeah, had my Injen CP blow out with the regular clamps on at the time, just driving around town looking for 2 t-bolt clamps while getting passed by Neons, Civics, and Grandma. LOL, a long time ago.

At least you found the issue, I suppose the WG rod is metric?

Nuts are 10mm no idea on the thread. I should make GM fix it but I do not want them touching my car really.

sorry for asking newb question, but where exactly is the WG rod located under the car?

It is located near where the DP bolts to the exhaust housing of the turbo.

your talking about the waste gate, it wasn't clicking enough, until you mention manifold.

I wonder if that's another reason why my DAL tables were significantly lower than you expected.

efactor 10-23-2010 12:18 PM

gonna have to check my WG to see if its loose. I had a buddy who drives a stock SS/TC and had his come loose with 11k and started loosing power.

Mine's tight and I can still boost 27 psi @ 3500 if I want. :D

Probably, I have been having lower than expected airloads for a while now. I used to hit 300% airloads at 24-25 psi consistantly but for the last 8-9 months they have been getting lower and lower.
