B-series turbo manifold question
 

which side is the wastegate (Tial 35mm) best on the right or left? btw no power steering or AC crap. and the intake side will be on the right the exhaust on the left.

Which is better? Define better? they work both the same on right as it does on the left. If you are worried on clearence issues, just pop your hood and take a look.

But those manifolds are differnt. The second one has a better location for the external gate. You can see how its plumbed directly on the collector, meaning a less likly issue of boost creep.

obviously, it will be easier to plumb your wastegate discharge if the wastegate is faced the oppisite side of your compressor.

oops, i was talking about clearances. but anything in general. should i vent the wastegate into the air or plumb it back into the exhaust? i can see know that the WG and the compressor on the same side might not be the best idea...

lots of people run open wastegate's... I personally think they sound like complete ----.. But its up to you..

where is Beau? does he run his open?

Re:B-series turbo manifold question
 

I dont know where he is? have you tried calling him? I dont keep tabs on him... :-*

Dustin have you not seen beaus setup before? his wastegate is a closed loop system.

i thought i seen his name below on the online list...anyway i havent taken a hard look at his setup, just little looks here and there. but i dont ever remember seeing his wastegate/downpipe setup....

"just little looks here and there"
Dustin don't be peekin at my ----.
ya i run closed wastegate. and remember that if your wasategate is on the compresser side its going to be a bitch to plumb in but if you dont plumb it in your going to be dumping hot exhaust right in front of the turbo inlet and thats no good, plus open wastegate sounds like a big huge lesbian ----- fart...ick

LoL, thats pretty funny.. hah ;D

well i wouldnt want to hear that noise so it will be pumped into the DP somewhere... (btw where do you come up with ---- like that...nevermind dont want to know...)
