I found this wastegate adapter on ebay last night. Has anyone ever used one? I figured that it would save me a from buying a new manifold with an external wastegate flange. |

As long as your oil drain doesn't sit too low it will work fine.

If its on a honda the oil return might be too low (as said above). My old roomate used one on a topmount setup on a volvo ::). It worked fine

Re: Anybody ever use one of these??
Thanks for the replies. I had about 5 inches from my turbo to my oil pan before. I assume that the adapter is about 2 inches thick. I'll have see if it will work. Its going on a d16y8.

Re: Anybody ever use one of these??
trust me don't buy this ----. It will not work. I've got one and it makes the oil line sit WAY TOO LOW nig.
I had to just scrap it and buy a cast mani off egay. Save your money and do it right the first time. |
