IMO yous shouldve given these fittings a chance and fix all this for once if you have no cracks on the manifold .
While they look nice, they are NPT and the threads on the tial wastegate are M10x1.0. And how would a crack in the manifold cause me to boost creep? (serious question)Originally Posted by monjarassi

Crack in the manifold signifies boost leak, boost leak equals boost creep. Idk doh..
My thought were that boost would leak out enough not to open/flow through the wastegate but the main runners would still flow enough to build boost. I'm no expert and can be totally wrong tho lol. just a thought
A boost leak is the opposite of boost creep. The car has made 20 psi. I really doubt it's doing that with a crack in the manifold.
Alright here are some pictures I took with the wastegate in as it was and a few closeups once I took it out. LMK what you think.
Based on these two below it looks like it may be leaking a little. IDK how that would be happening
Banjo installed:
Also, I plan to run my wastegate straight to my pressure source for a bit so I need the top half to just vent. Is it a bad idea to put the other banjo fitting in the top port and have nothing connected to it? Would rather not have to pull the gate out again when I get my new boost controller.
when i was on a mbc i left a port open nothing ever happened
Ya I know you can do that. But I want to just leave the banjo fitting in it. I can't imagine it matters if there is a fitting or not. It can still breathe.
youd b fine
