vgt exhaust brake control

ok cool thanks for that advice, i got my exhaust adapter all welded up today and ran out of time to do much else, lucky i didnt get to the vein control yet, i ended up not flipping the manifold over and hopefully my new boots will be here tomorrow and i get my truck going again

do you guys run the coolant thru these? i see that i would have to make some sort of plate to allow coolant to pass between the two holes, just wondering if its worth the trouble, i dont see it being that big a deal to get working, i already deleted my tranny cooler so i could just use the heater hoses that were for that
 
how do you get pics up in the thread? i looked around a little bit but thought i would ask
 
HE351VE controller for 12v will be available by the end of this month!

i never searched the 24v forums for this stuff thats why i couldnt find that post, i cant believe i didnt think of that, i knew he used a window something, thought it was the motor but it was the switch, thanks for that link

mines a 12v so fleece is out, did you see that video on youtube of the one with the spring? it looked simple enough just have to find the right spring

i looked at high idle motors and looks like that could work, just got to find the right one, maybe i will go hit the junk yard next week and see what i cant find

You only run coolant for the electronics.

The coolant helps a ton with shutdown temp spikes. I sawzalled the electic part off to allow acess to the vane lever but still retained the base of the aluminum motor housing to seal the water.

hummm thats cool, i got my truck up and running today, few things tho

1st when i hit around 10psi i get a awful squealing type noise, i think its a manifold leak from between my turbo and my t3 adaptor, i check the intercooler and stuff with a air compressor set up and it held 35psi fine
the turbo spins freely with normal play, i was able to open and close the veins by hand so i know they move freely
2nd i can still only push 30psi of boost, bottom end pulls really good but sorta feels like i run out of fuel possibly, no problem braking my 36" a/t tires loose, also could be rated to loss of exhaust pressure from manifold leak i suppose
this thing spools wicked quick hopefully tomorrow i will figure out the squealing noise and my top end power, cant wait to see what it can do running right and actually use OD
 
I don't about the squieling noise. On the low boost id put a drive pressure gauge on it. I had a steering column pod laying around and I bought a 2" air pressure gauge from ace hardwear and it helps a lot on tuning it. Way cheaper than buying a boost gauge.
 
im a plumber by trade and i was thinking of using one of our 60lbs test gauges on the manifold, i could see that i was leaking exhaust yesterday so im hoping thats my problem
 
so that squealing was a giant exhaust leak between the turbo and the adaptor, i used some marking paint and a 4-1/2 sander disk and got it down pretty flat and the horrible noise went away, now i noticed tho that i have to pull my manifold back off and put 6 new exhaust gaskets in cause its leaking there also

bottom end power is ridiculous, i was having some fun drifting while pulling a small trailer yesterday, top end could be better i feel, i need to get the exhaust gauge on and fine tune it some more, i can hit about 1450* egt wise if i just hold the pedal on the floor in OD but im only pushing around 28-30psi while doing that so im thinking maybe its opening up too big and im loosing boost so the egts go up??
