is this the shitty wastegate on the K14 at fault?
#1
Question 
a little bit academic as i'm planning on going TD04l in the next month or two but anyway . . . .
i'm running about 24/25 psi on a Bosch pump and K14 turbo, the problem is this and seems to be a lot worse when running 100% veg (which i do),
when i'm accelerating hard and boost gets upto around 20psi car hesitates and coals out the back, if i accelerate steadily it more than often makes it to full boost without stuttering, however if i floor it it gets all constipated up the top end . . . .
pain in the arse tbh . . .also weird thing is it doesn't do it on Diesel, initially i thought it was struggling to get the fuel through on veg, but as i say it coals at high boost when it stutters,
does veg make thicker fumes? therefore forcing the wastegate open more easily? might sound crazy but that's all i can think of at the moment . . .

ideas welcome . . . .
Cheers, Matt . . Smile
