Boost Pressure Limiting Valve
The wastegate valve operates on the opposite principle to conventional wastegate valves. In the absence of control pressure, the boost pressure is limited. Make sure the connections between the vacuum pump and the boost pressure limiting valve are tight.
Checking the calibration pressure
Use a magnetic support with a pointer type indicator that is mounted on the end of the pressure regulator stem (maximum possible along the axis of the pressure regulator rod). Smoothly create a vacuum in the boost pressure limiting valve using the tool with pressure gauge Mot. 1014 (figure 3.57).
Figure 3.57. Checking the calibration pressure.
Adjustment on the car
When checking the calibration pressure, it may be necessary to additionally adjust the length of the boost pressure limiting valve stem A (when the pressure goes beyond the tolerance limits) (figure 3.58). Loosen lock nut 1. Make adjustments by tightening or loosening adjusting sleeve 2 by half a turn until the correct calibration pressure value is obtained. After tightening lock nut 1, the calibration pressure should be checked.
Figure 3.58. Adjusting the calibration pressure.
Check the adjustment result during a road test by monitoring the "Wastegate Valve Cyclic Opening Ratio" and "Boost Pressure" parameters using diagnostic tools.
