Turbo 383 in a A-body Barracuda

How much????
I need them! I think I will just dump it in front of the K-member. Do a bologna cut and call it done. In Texas, since my car is registered as an Antique I don"t need an inspection.. I will tap the wastegate in the downpipe so it's not as noticable??

I think the wastegate is froze. It won't open at least not by pushing the plug with my thumb like the BOV.. I am waiting on a friend to bring his vacuum pump to check them both.. I think I read in your thread that you had to replace the o-ring??

Now I need the 400 from the machine shop so I can begin this build!!

Finally!

On the wastegate you need to feed it air. Do you have a Boost Controller yet? I would be careful if you dont. Set your compressor at a low level to start the test. When taking out the big spring I could control the boost from 4psi to 40+++ using my Hallman Boost controler!

On the BOV you can use a vacuum pump to check it out. I pulled out springs in both the BOV and the gates. I rebuilt the Wastegates also. Check out my thread for the explanation.
