switzer turbo ??

Post by DR Frankenstine »

A complete switzer turbo kit I have sourced for a 2h diesel which includes all manifolds and pipes etc doesn't seem to have a waste gate actuator or for that matter a waste gate. Any Ideas on why or any other info would be great.

most of the old schwitzer kits run non geted turbos
you will find that the max boost you get from these turbos is generally about 12psi (what local dealer told me and what we got from mates mq)

just bolt it up and have it tuned to suitthe boost you wanna run ............. more deisel = more boost is how i was told they tune these kits

I've been running a switzer on the old 60 for over ten years now, no waste gate and no troubles so far. The highest the boost gauge has got is around 10psi, i just back off a bit when it gets that high (can't be to careful)
I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees.
