Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Turbo Swap-Questions

[24valver]

My 95 apparently has a WH1C turbo on it. (I thought only early 94 had these. ) I bought an HX35 thinking thats what was on the truck. On the WH1C, the wastgate line goes to the injector pump, but the HX35 goes to the compressed air duct of the turbo. Should I put the old wastegate on the HX and block the fitting where the line for the gate that came with it, or just put the HX and its wastegate on and block the line going to the pump? Tell me what you guys think. Thanks

Anybody have any ideas?

get rid of the line going over to the inj. pump. the wastegate on those WH1C's is operated off manifold pressure sent from the intake manifold which shares a line with the AFC. I had to get rid of mine when I put on the phat shaft.

Yup I had to get rid of mine too. Just use the nipple on the compressor housing. You'll need to get a boost elbow to control the wastegate, they are about $15 and should thread right in the same hole on the compressor housing.
