Ok thanks for the info!Originally Posted by Adm_rsx
Well awesome. Car still creeps just as much. When I have time I am going to change the fittings back to the banjo bolts and barbed fittings and I am going to run straight from compressor housing to wastegate. If that doesn't fix it I guess I will have to do something else :sadbanana:
Damn u must be doing something wrong.
At this point I hope I am and figure it put soon because this is getting annoying. Although clamping down a wastegate is pretty straight forward.

The thing that's annoying is having to do it with this engine bay. If it were a sidewinder in an rsx or ep3 there is more room. I had to have a buddy of mine hold the dump tube under the car and I clamped the waste gate up top with the cowl off. And I still couldn't get both hand in there so it was really hard. You must have to take your down pipe off and subframe To do it yourself? Is there a way to test the manifold just to rule it out? I never heard of a manifold getting tested outside a car for wastegate creepage tho. Don't give up man it will be worth it in the end.
He got his kit/manifold from another member that ran 15psi just fine, they even have the same tuner. So i have high doubts its the manifold. Hopefully he can' switch back to the banjo fittings and be all good!
I have to lower the subframe which isn't too bad. I leave the front two bolts in but backed out a bit and lower the rear using my jack to hold it. Then I take out downpipe then I can take out the wastegate with dumptube still attached.
Ya hopefully! Now in all seriousness is there anyway I could be installing this wrong? I mean when I do it clamp seals all around and tightens up quite a bit. Is there something else I need to do? Just disparate at this point lol.
Ya I did see that it was running fine before, I was thinking maybe there is a crack where the wastegate is welded now? I'm not sure that would effect creep tho now that I think about it more.
If there is a crack or leak anywhere other than inside the wastegate that would result in boost loss not creep.
Here are a few pics I have taken and I will take more today when I take it out to change the fittings. Lmk if anyone sees anything out of the ordinary.
Today while doing some reading I found some info saying tial designed the gates to leak at a certain point soI called tial after class today to see if they had any suggestions or a good way to check the wastegate and the lady on the phone said their tech guy was out of the office until friday and that she couldn't help me. So I am just going to swap back to the banjo fittings with rubber hose tonight and bypass the solenoid to eliminate as many potential leak points as possible and to make sure the fittings are perfectly sealed since the banjos are what you're 'supposed' to use. Now for these banjo bolts, can anyone shed light on how tight I should put them in? I assume they need to be pretty damn tight to ensure the crush washer seals correctly? But does it have to be crazy tight? I am asking because they are kinda tough to get really tight because once they are tight they start turning the banjo itself and I want them to be pointing a specific angle.
