And no I guess Im not learning fast enough for the 3 months I think Ive been here.
1-im 18
2-works 48 hr/week
3-school 16 hr/week
4-try to have a social life 6 hr/week
rest of the time its learning about building my motor, which I have completely accomplished buying and have everything coming.

Just trying to grasp the mechanical part of boost and learning TurboEdit now. Im not even entirely set on going turbo with this engine, I may still go DP nitrous that I just bought, or both, have to work with my high compression first

Its ok dude.I think Chris is on the "mod" trip ::).Thats cool if you didnt know.The cool thing is that you asked.Just keep reading when you have time.Youll be ok ;)......oh and yeah all you need is a blok off plate to convert that to external wastegate.

Is that only for internal wastegate? Explanation?

Are you ------- seriouse?!Thats your ------- wastegate!!!Its not threaded so you cant lower the boost :-\

I believe it's called an actuator, i don't want to butt in but i don't want the guy to get laughed at by his friend next time he pointed to the "sphere thing with the rod" and told them that's the wastegate.
