Technical Specifications
Functional Description
Installing the HKS-VA028-V2.0 is not a beginner task. Here is a professional step-by-step summary: hks-va028-v2.0
Tools Required: 4mm and 6mm Allen keys, torque wrench (set to 18–22 Nm for flange bolts), copper anti-seize, vacuum line (3.5mm ID).
Step 1 – Manifold Preparation Remove the blanking plate from your turbo manifold’s wastegate port. Clean gasket surfaces with a razor. Do not reuse old gaskets – HKS supplies a metal embossed gasket in the V2.0 box. Technical Specifications
Step 2 – Spring Selection The V2.0 ships with a 0.8 bar spring. For low-boost applications (<1.0 bar), install no shims. For 1.2–1.5 bar, add the included 0.3mm shim. For racing (>1.8 bar), purchase the HKS VA028-SPRING-HD kit.
Step 3 – Mounting the Unit Attach the wastegate to the manifold using the supplied studs and brass nuts. Critical: Apply copper anti-seize to the stud threads. Torque in a cross pattern to 20 Nm. Functional Description
Step 4 – Vacuum Reference Connect the side port (closer to the valve diaphragm) to a dedicated boost source after the throttle body. The top port (cap on V2.0) can be left open or used for a boost controller’s top port reference. Use fuel-grade vacuum line, not silicone (silicone collapses under high heat).
Step 5 – Dump Tube The V2.0’s exhaust outlet requires a V-band clamp. You must plumb the dump tube back into the downpipe or vent to atmosphere (check local noise/emissions laws).
