Post by: 91jettaidi on February 14, 2010, 02:11:36 pm

Hi guys I had a 91' Jetta TD then I sold it. Now i'm buying the same car back from the guy but he said that he blocked waste-gate and some thing else. I just wanted to know how can i do it. I have know idea where to start if some one can help me out that would be great. Also how long can I drive with a broken rack and pinion.  THANKS

There's several ways to block off the wastegate... can he tell you what he did?

Did he block the wastegate or the blow off valve? I think it's a common thing to block of the BOV(search), if you block the wastegate you should be building lot's of boost so check your boost gauge to see if you are.
