Ok people,

I'm getting ready to install my new 1-bar AMS Wastegates and am a bit concerned by the adjustment method of using compressed air. I understand the process, but I need a suitable hand pump! Everything I have found is high pressure and does not provide enough detail in readout of lower pressures (like the 0-20 psi we need).

Can you guys chime in with which pump you are using and where I could obtain one? If it's home made, can you please provide photos, parts detail, and build directions. Thanks!

Thanks! I saw them but found they mostly deal in vacuum testing equipment, not psi. Do you have experience with a particular model of theirs?

 

They do have one that tests pressure,it an aluminum one...I had one also..

 

the MV800 is what I use...
Silverline Elite hand vacuum/pressure pump .

 

Is this it?

I couldn't find that one Markski. What do you think of the 8510 above?

 

I used this set up with a mity vac silverline. I tested right from the N75 valve to make sure there were no leaks and both WG were opening at the same time.

 

You can also get a quality small bike tire pump with a gage on it or a motorcyle air suspension hand pump which has a gage on it..We either you would just have to make an simple adaptor to attach to the hose..

 

Thanks everyone! TurboTodd, why two gauges?

 

The gauge on the mity vac only measures vacuum. I just added an inline pressure gauge.

Thanks Todd! John, are you referring to the one I posted the link to in #6???
