Ok you guys, I just got the dump installed today and went to test drive the car and noticed my defi boost gauge is only reading 20psi at WOT, but the car keeps pulling like if it's at a higher psi setting? Any sugguestions, I did use a divorce gasket and feel alittle bit of air coming from the dump at idle.

I had a bunch made... but between Kessler and myself and our habit of changing turbochargers so frequently...I've used a lot of them up. I'll redo my cad file and get a bunch more made so people can get them.
That SS gasket doesn't compress much does it :P

Did you check preload on the WGA? My only guess would be the wastegate is open a lil and leaking. Might also want to log boost, or keep your eyes set on your boost gauge; I was getting boost creep with my o2 dump. It would basically spike to 20psi then creep to 30psi out the top. You should be able to tell if its creeping though pretty easy so that may not be your case.
I also was keepin my eye on the gauge, no creep just sits at 20psi at full boost
I did copper spray it tho.. Were you running your dump on the 7460R? I forget.

If it's not going past 20psi at 6-7k rpm then it's not creeping. You should be good.

I have used the high temp copper gasket spray stuff you can buy at any auto parts store a couple times and it worked well, no leaks. Just spray a thick coating on the 02 flange. I will be using this stuff on my Toxicfab 02 dump when my turbo comes in and I put it back together.
