Scott Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 http://www.internetwork.org.uk/ttc/ttc.htm Been looking at that guide, would i be right in saying the VSV being pointed to in the 5th picture down is actually the WG VSV and not the EGCV? I'm thinking that the guide might be a bit iffy and its actually the other pipe that you want to swap over. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffman Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I think your right thats the wastegate VSV...its blue i'm sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Nope, 5th pic down isnt the wastegate actuator, as that is on the back of the second turbo - The EGCV is the exhaust part of the sequential system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh? The WG VSV and the EGCV VSV are joined together on a bracket on front of the 1st turbo are they not? There is a thick pipe and a thin pipe coming from the top, the thin pipe controlls the EGCV the thick one controlls the WG. The arrows in the pic point to the WG pipe, not the EGCV pipe. I just tried it on jamesey's car and thats when i came accross the issue. If you try to take the thick pipe off and attach it to the EGCV actuator, its far far too big.

I did this to my car, and one or two other and works fine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just a mixup with the pics i think. If you look at this one you can see the thick pipe and the thin pipe next to each other. The thick one connects to the WG VSV and the thin one connects to the EGCV VSV. In the guide it says that the thick pipe is the EGCV VSV.

I'm pretty sure when you have did it you have used the correct pipe though, you will have used the narrow one when doing it, not the thick one as per the guide.

Scott Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 Ahh wait, i've just looked at the pic again. The WG VSV isn't visible in it lol, the thick pipe is the one that looks like a rusty pipe in the pic, connected onto the clip. Makes sense now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure the wastegate actuator isn't on the first turbo The (hugely inaccessible) one on the back of turbo 2 is the exhaust gas bypass valve... -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
