Blocked my wastegate, getting engine warning light...

[fish78]

Last week i was getting some work on my lj78 done, (pyro, water temp, boost gauge, lower rad hose heater) and while we were in there, we sealed off the wastegate on the turbo. I'm getting better performance out of the truck, but i've noticed when i was pushing it unusually hard up a couple hills, my engine warning light beside the turbo light in my dash would come on momentarily. It turns off when i back off the throttle a bit.

Anyone familiar with this? I've never had it pop on before this weekend.

of course it will come on, you are putting out about 14 lbs of boost now at max...
not to worry, this is normal..

ok, cool. Just wanted to make sure my MASSIVE boost increase isn't about to blow my poor engine apart. Hehe, thanks!

I thought you need now a boost gauge and care with your right food

Get some new motor mounts you fool. That thing shakes worse than my grandfather. They won't be "au gratis" though.
