Hey, i've heard of problems with the T3 wastegate hitting the head and having to shave some of the head off. Anyone here have problems like this? Any advice? Im about to install and it looks like i may run into this problem.

 

you using an HF manifold?
does the wastegate actuator attach to the back of the compressor housing or on the front?

take off the actuator and mount the manifold/turbo. find where the wastegate will not touch anything and figure out how to mount it. you may have to make a bracket or bend the mounting lip. for the rod, you will probably have to attach a longer rod and bend it to the flapper.

 

Goto the FAQ and read up on changing the wastegate out for a carb spring, might be your only choice.

 

Dont know how much this will help you. But I heard slammdsol used 2 gaskets instead of one. Dont know. I'm guessing rotating the housing wont help?

 

Sweet thanks a lot. Ill prolly ghetto rig it. Those are some really good ideas. Thanks for the responses.
