VJ-11 turbo in 323

[audi5000]

found out i have a VJ-11 turbo from an MX-6 in my car.
pretty sure whoever hooked it up messed it up because the wastegate is not working correctly.
does anyone else have a similar setup i can cheat off of?

i need to know where the line on the bottom right of the pictured turbo is going


and also where its going after the wastegate.

Thanks!

that nipple on the compressor housing gets connected to the wastegate.

correct, boost controller in between.

soooooo the wastegate dosent need to be connected to that elbow on the intake manifold? it can just be run to there?

[DuRWooD]

That's right

[audi5000]

Perfect, thanks for the help!

You can run it from either, just block off the other one. Running it from the intake will react a little slower, as it's after the intercooler, but the difference would be very small IMO.

my vj11 last 3 days
it go off blowing oil , don't boost, no shaft play i think these turbo can hold pressure more than 14 psi...
it crap for a daily use it boost too late about 4500 rpm ...
i have order a vf10 ... who accept more pressure

^^ VJ11 is a common swap, sounds like you have other issues with your swap.

That VF10 won't hit until 5000 + rpm.

I liked my VJ11, until the compressor wheel disintegrated.

i don't thinks and i will see but if it can hold 20 psi i will assume it ...

mine starts boostin at 2500 that with the hybrid vj11/14

2500 is really fast to start boosting. I'd rather it boost a little later. Maybe a bigger turbo would do better in this case.
