Been playing with the secondhand  external wastegate I got last September.  Still won't control boost.  Took it apart and found the o-ring not sealing between the 2 halfs of the gate.  The leak is located on the boost side of the diaphragm not the vacuum side.  Question is, can I pookie it up with some high temp copper RTV or do I need another o-ring?  This is the 46mm gate from GN1.  I believe full throttle sells the same one.

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

The o-ring is on the outer diameter of the shaft.  In otherwords, the valve does not slide up and down on the o-ring.  The inside diameter where the valve moves up and down does not have any provisions for sealing.

Went back to the internally gated down pipe.  Everything back to normal and then the TPS took a shit.  Looking for a Delco
TPS now....  Going to check with highway stars

Anybody know what this is and where I can get instructions?  Found it attached to an engine harness that I have.  Hoping it helps with setting the cam sensor but I can't tell if that's a caspers brand on the sticker or not.

Thanks Rich!  I was hoping it was a cam sensor tool.

New owner of the white T came over this morning and we installed a 6262.  I am super impressed with the 6262!  Took a photo op while they both were at the house
