Here are some more information for Turbo Hot Pipe:
A turbocharger uses either an internal or external wastegate to control the exhaust gas so the turbocharger can maintain a set amount of boost pressure.
Integral Wastegate
With an internal or integral wastegate, the turbine housing of a turbocharger has a built-in flapper that opens and closes through the use of an actuator. The internal is more commonly found on vehicles that came turbocharged from the factory. When the set boost level is reached the flapper vents or redirects the exhaust gasses so they exit through the downpipe and thus attempting to maintain a steady boost level.
The actuator is normally being controlled by an electrical boost solenoid which has vacuum lines that control it. GM part number #1997152 is a popular choice that has been adapted to work on many vehicles either foreign or domestic. Some OEM boost solenoids for Volvo, Audi, and others accomplish the same thing.
One vacuum line typically runs from the intake side of the engine or turbo compressor housing to provide the actual boost pressure which the engine is operating. This line from the intake to the first port on the solenoid is sending positive pressure which is then bled off at the solenoid to deliver this output pressure to the actuator. The actuator is basically a spring inside a canister with a diaphram that is controlled by the pressure sent to it from the solenoid.
With the solenoid disconnected the boost level is determined by the spring in the actuator canister. This is also known as base boost, or the lowest boost setting that the turbo can be ran. A modification to the actuator by placing a stiffer spring will raise the base boost and is usually necessary if the vehicle has been modified to run a much higher than stock boost level.
External Wastegate
The external wastegate application is usually an aftermarket product which is not built into the turbocharger. The placement of the external can vary depending on the application and fitment issues. A complete twin turbo kit for a 2005-2008 Corvette C6 has the turbos/wastegates rear mounted because of lack of space under the hood.
External wastegates can be either vented to the atmosphere or redirected so they are sent out the exhaust system. When they are vented to the atmosphere the noise produced is considerably loud and may push the legal limits for noise so be sure that you are aware of potential risks.
When the external wastegate is tied into the exhaust the amount of noise is minimized and similar to the noise level from an internal wastegate. Some people have mistaken a wastegate for a blow off valve and these are two completely different components that serve different purposes. The blow off valve emits a sound that is more of a sharp swoosh, slightly high pitched. The external wastegate vented to the atmosphere is much deeper and not nearly as smooth. A small turn down pipe is typically attached to the wastegate to direct the discharge away from any place that may not take well to heat.
Manual Boost Controllers
When you want to raise the boost, there are many gadgets out there on the market that claim to offer solid boost control. Before you go and spend $500 or so on a fancy electronic boost controller, lets first take a look at what is happening.
As previously mentioned with the integral wastegate, the actuator is used to hold the flapper shut by the use of spring pressure. The preload must be set accurately or there will be a serious lag in building boost or if its set too tight can cause a boost spike and damage an engine. Its extremely important to set the preload properly, whether you are running stock or higher boost levels.
A simple but extremely effective $45 boost controller can provide excellent boost control. The boostvalve is a product that has been proven reliable for years and they offer additional springs to allow higher boost settings.
Maintenance
Integral wastegates can become sticky, where the wastegate flapper becomes stuck or just doesn't swing freely. This is an important inspection that could be costing you a lot of performance. If the flapper doesn't open and close smoothly then it may get hung up causing a lag in building boost or boost spikes to overcome the spot where it hangs. A product from GM called heat riser lube can be injected to help loosen up the flapper.
The vacuum lines that run to the boost solenoid may need to be inspected depending on the condition or age of the vehicle. Replacement silicone vacuum lines are usually a good choice.
The last suggestion is to take a close look at your datalog files to see just how stable your boost control is, whether it spikes or drops off. A properly setup wastegate can make all the difference in terms of overall performance from a turbo engine, and you may just need to make a few small adjustments to see dramatic improvements in performance.

Hot Tubs Spas - Origin of
I was relaxing in a friends Hot Tub Jacuzzi last week and we started discussing how the whole concept of Hot Tubs and Jacuzzi Spas was born.
I know from a Jacuzzi, Inc press release that "The History of the Jacuzzi Brand": ... started some time back in time in the early 1900s, when the Jacuzzi brothers of which there were seven emigrated from Italy to California in the United States of America.
The Jacuzzi brothers made great strides in aviation by inventing the first enclosed cabin monoplane, which, not only, carried mail for the U.S. Postal Service but also passengers from the San Francisco Bay area to the Yosemite National Park in California.
Incorporating their hydraulic insight, the Jacuzzi Brothers, as they had come to be known in the 1920's later made some notable improvements in the agricultural pump industry. In time this led to an invention that became a regular fixture in American homes and indeed homes around the world today.
I am sure that just over half a century ago (1956) when the Jacuzzi brothers invented a portable hydrotherapy pump that they used to treat a family member with arthritis that they had no idea that from that invention many multi million dollar industries would be spawned. Not only in making Hot Tubs but in providing the many component parts.
From this initial design a small niche business was developed by supplying a portable pump which was known as the J-300, a portable pump, to hospitals and schools.
Then in 1968 that same pioneering spirit of the original Jacuzzi brothers was strong in a third generation family member namely Roy Jacuzzi.
He invented what is generally regarded as the world's first whirlpool bath in 1968.
When he was a teenager, he worked in the family business in a variety of roles. Studying and learning how the business operated from the bottom up.
In 1968, his passion for design and engineering emerged when he invented and marketed the world's first integrated hot tub or whirlpool bath, known as the Roman. Of course hot Tubs have been known in times past by many civilizations including the Roman's and it was known that Roman Centurions would seek out the soothing properties of a natural Hot Spring either after a long march or after a battle. So perhaps it was very apt to name the first model the Roman.
Around the world, it has been common practice for many thousands of years for people apart from Roman Centurions to soak away their aches and pains in warm thermal baths.
It has been shown that warm water is a natural relief for the many ailments that the stress of life brings. In modern day care homes this is often available to help elderly people keep mobile in their later years.
During the ancient Times of Egypt, Greece & Rome soaking in Hot Water was a tradition and that still continues today.
In those ancient times it was a normal practice to relax and enjoy long hot soaks, not only was it a ritual but indeed more than that as it was known to bring relief from the aches and pains of life. In those days these were often simply small pools of water with the benefit of having warm water piped into them often from a natural hot spring.
Hot Tubs are now constructed in many western countries to the highest standards and the development of the Spa continues at a pace.
The original Jacuzzi pump, when combined with jets used an air-injection system, created a mixture very similar to a kind of bubbling water-and-air.
In time a variety of American manufacturers experimented with different methods to propel the air/water stream into the spa with ever increasing degrees of pressure and control.
Initially spas used a simple idea that involved not much more than a simple vacuum cleaner motor operating simply as a blower in some ways similar to blowing air into the hot tub in the same way that we as children probably would have used a straw to blow bubbles in to a glass of lemonade or coca cola.
Again as time passed the leading designers soon began thinking of things like the venturi principle, in which water is drawn through a funnel-like device to create a vacuum that pulls in air. As the water flow and pressure increases, the jet automatically draws in more air, which results in more water flow and movement not unlike the idea of an exhaust driven turbo charger in a car.
Quoting Roy Jacuzzi, chairman, CEO and president of Jacuzzi Inc. of California America Roy said "A venturi system is a conventional approach," "What I did was take air and water all around that so I was getting a 300/60 air-to-water mixture. " I was actually taking the water and air combination ... and exploding that,"
The earliest spas, though, had only enough jets to simply churn the water.
Quoting another well known manufacturer Bernie Burba, founder of Baja Products Inc from Tucson in Arizona he said "When we first came out with spas, they had two spa jets on them, "Now you see portable spas with 60 on them. You might say that's overkill, but it isn't," he said. "We've really learned about water therapy and that lots of jets - lots of water and air moving across your body - is a very satisfying, restful and helpful experience."
I have to say as a regular user of a Hot Tub he is spot on.
As always my firm advice remains that one should, only buy a product that comes from an American or European, internationally recognized, producer of Hot Tubs.
That way you know that the Hot Tub will be safe from an electrical view point and it will be made from proper components and controls and be able to run on low amperage electricity unlike those that are made in the east. It will not fuse your house or villa electrics or harm any of your other home appliances. I am not joking in that regard as I have heard of two or three instances of that happening with Spas that were made in China.
When you buy a product from an internationally recognized manufacturer there is every chance that the product will last and last and provide very many years of good service.
The thinking is simple that the internationally recognized maker will back his product with a proper guarantee, so if, in the unlikely event, that there is a fault it does fall back on the manufacturer and not on the you the consumer.
The reason why they are able to provide these guarantees' is that they have had many decades of experience and therefore they build them, in the first place, with the proper quality parts and components so ensuring that it will not fail.
It is for that simple reason and that reason alone that they are then prepared to provide a long life guarantee.

I have frozen water pipes and a lot of heat going on them but nothing is working can I use a welder?
ok I have had frozen water for the last 7 days we have been working on defrosting the pipes non stop we have 3 electric heaters going one turbo heater plus heat tape and we have water coming from the ground pipe in to the hot water heater but we can not get any water past that any Sugestions I am desperate for help some one has told me about using a welder to send a current through the pipes is that safe? can it be done?
Hi your question brings up tons of questions for me. To quick answer your question yes theoretically it can be done as long as your pipes are metal though I have never talked to anyone who has done it. I would have some major concerns with trying. One would be the possibility of heat or spark starting a fire in a wall or other contact point, the other is the possibility of electrocuting someone. I would search for a place that you haven't gotten heat to. If your cold water supply is getting into the house and into your water heater then I would start there, confirm it is coming out of the heater, as long as that is happening then you need to trace your hot and cold pipes to the first faucet, if that isn't working then somewhere between is an area that your heaters are not reaching. I'm sorry I can't be more help but I would be Leary of the arc welder unless I had someone who had done it and could talk me through it. Try calling a couple rental places and see if they have rented welders for that purpose. Good luck. Also I would be concerned about the length of time you would have to run current through your entire house to heat it up.
