I contemplating whether or not I should grind down the top of my wastegate so it clears the head.. i'm broke as ---- right now so i'm not trying to buy an elbow if I don't have to.. it clears the hood so that's not an issue.

btw does anyone have a cheap wastegate flange they don't need so I can get the dump tube made?

 

what about denting the underside of your hood to clear.

not the top layer but the reinforcement.

i dont know how good the car looks.

 

could you get away with it probably
would i do it NO
if you do make sure its not where the screw is and run soft spring only

If you are broke you can't afford another tial wastegate...

 

I would get a few wg flanges and gaskets and stack them untill you cleard the head, or get a elbow and fab away.

 

o, my bad, the head not the hood.

no i wouldnt grind it.

bad.

 

send the manifold back to where you got it from and demand one that fits properly... that is bs.

 

perfect idea.. i only need a few centimeters for it to mount properly.. thanks african american
