WASTEGATE 38/40/45 VALVE POSITION SENSOR CAP  
-
-
The cap is designed to be a straight replacement to the original wastegate cap. No modifications are required for fitment.  
The “top port” is incorporated in the valve position sensor cap design. Pressure may still be supplied to the top port to help  
close the wastegate valve.  
-
The valve position sensor (TS-0502-2008) and valve position sensor plug (TS-0502-2009) are sold separately.  
Changing the wastegate caps  
WARNING! Use caution when changing the wastegate caps.

Wiring the sensor plug  
WARNING! Use caution when soldering the wires.  
Ground Pin 1 (0VDC)  
Power Pin 2 (+5VDC)  
Signal Pin 3 (0-5)VDC  
-
The valve position sensor plug has three wire ends. The first terminal is for positive voltage supply (+5VDC, black and green  
wire), the second terminal is for ground supply (0VDC, black and white wire) and the third terminal is the positive variable  
voltage return (0-5 VDC).  
-
-
Connect the wires to your data logger accordingly. Use a solder iron and heat shrink insulation when joining the wire ends.  
Gently inset the plug into the sensor. The plug can only be inserted in one way. Check for plug and sensor orientation. Do not  
force the plug into the sensor.  
-
-
Test the wiring. Gently push the sensor pin up and down and ensure that the voltage input on the data logger is changing  
between 0-5 VDC. The data logger should approximately read 0 VDC when the sensor pin is in free form and approximately  
+5VDC when the sensor pin is pushed all the way in.  
Ensure that the wiring is properly shielded from external heat sources.
