I just welded the flapper shut and cut off the IWG tube. Unless it's in the way, there's no harm in leaving it.

Cool.

Troll: Have any idea what DP I have?

D Money · 04-22-2007, 11:04 PM

Can't you look at the DP?

EDIT: No longer need to ask that question since Troll answered it for me.

**TROLL** · 04-22-2007, 11:04 PM

i dont remember at all, havent looked at the car in a long time.
you can also make a bracket to hold the wg closed... or you can contact deadbolt and see if he is still making them.

its a vf34

Jeffros Spec V · 04-22-2007, 11:14 PM

Thanks for the good information guys.

RayArroyo · 04-23-2007, 12:34 PM

i had an ewg with a 1 bar spring and it was perfect, im doing the forge adjustable internal now though.

Jeffros Spec V · 04-30-2007, 07:35 PM

Is anybody willing to help me out with a EWG install this weekend?

wgknestrick · 04-30-2007, 09:02 PM

To me you are just wasting money putting an EWG on a stock (or VF series) turbo. For the 3-4 hundred $$ you throw into it, you might as well get a new turbo that WILL make more HP. My 0.02.

An EWG will not magically turn your small turbo into a big one.

Jeffros Spec V · 04-30-2007, 09:15 PM

Here, I'll ask a question that reflects your answer.

Should I waste my money on an ewg on a vf34?

wgknestrick · 04-30-2007, 09:22 PM

no. The gain/$ just isn't there. Sorry, just trying to help you save $

Jeffros Spec V · 04-30-2007, 09:31 PM

Thanks.

Does anybody want to help me install minethis weekend?

**TROLL** · 04-30-2007, 10:42 PM

haha... nice exchange there. wgk knows his ish and his opinions should always be taken into consideration, but of course at the same time we all have our own priorities.
i cant really commit to helping full on, but if i am around i'll try to come help for a bit. please dont hold your breath for me though because i have no idea what my weekend is looking like.
what setup did you get, btw?

Tial 38mm with 15psi spring and element tuning uppipe

I'll shoot you a pm later this week troll and see if maybe you could swing by for a little bit.

I still have to finish cutting my bumper and putting my front end together but I figured while its already apart might as well do the ewg.

I'm not arguing that he doesn't but like you said every body has their own priorities.

But I did read up on them and there seems to be somebody running a ewg with just about every turbo out there and comented on solid boost control, some hp gains and a pretty crazy ass sound!

K-Rex · 05-01-2007, 04:02 PM

Ahem...auction car...ahem

UnderPoweredRS · 05-01-2007, 04:12 PM

I'm running a .9 bar spring in my 38mm running 21 psi with a vf30 and It's perfect. I have a perrin uppipe with a tial flang welded on. I suggest getting that route It's way cheaper and in the end you get a custom fit peace and you can run the dump anyway you like.

The gains I saw were deffently worth the money. Power band fattens up alot (You can hold boost out to redline depending on what boost controler you use)

Buster · 05-03-2007, 12:50 PM

Jeff, you have a Bosal DP on your car. I have a HKS which has no place for the wastegate to blow to if you would be interested in a trade.

I'll have to see if a ewg will work with a bosal dp. I'll keep you updated keith.

A question I would ask your car about your avatar picture.

Q: Car, why do you look so angry in the picture?

A: Because he parks me in the city
