Look at this downpipe flange, how can it work???

Ok this flange here, suppose to go with this IHI RHB5 turbo

looks like it fits the bolt pattern and the HOLE... but...

look at the wastegate, i'ts covered by the metal part of the flange.. now tell me, how does the wastegate open up if the stupid metal is in the way?

looks like a block off flange. Used when running an external wastegate.

I think you are mixxed up with an external wastegate, thats whats going on. that thing is fine the wastegate gasses go through your muffler.

from my understanding the ihi 02 housing kinda works the same way and doesnt let the wastegate open all the way....just drill that plate out for better flow...its not for an external since you cant block off the wastegate on that turbo with just a new flange(its connected to where the regular exh. gasses exit)
