Wastegate ????
 

I am using a 14B turbo with internal gate. I looked at all the projects and couldnt really tell how the guys with 14B's mounted the wastegate. Does anyone have a good suggestion without ghetto rigging the wastegate? Maybe some pics they could send me of there setup and how they placed the wastegate.


I also am wondering where I can get one of those tiny air filters that will fit on the intake of the turbo? I saw one on a project pic I just looked at and think that it is the best way to go.

I 'm only using 1 of the mounting holes for my wastegate. I had to shorten the rod also using a coupler. Heldfine all last season and so far this one.

As for filter, I have a good 'ol K&N with a 2" Diameter pipe on it. It was a little big for the 14b inlet so I got a homemdepot coupler the was 1.5" and put the inside. Fit's perfect.

Do you have any pics? I know there are more than just one person who has this setup on a D16Z6. I want to finish this project so please help me.

i just shimmed the stock mounting locations with a few washers.

no filter for me, my piping is in the way so i cant fit one.

I guess maybe I should explain my situation.

My turbo fits fine, and I have removed the A/C. My problem is when I go to put on my wastegate it doesnt fit between the turbo and block. I am wondering how to adjust this so it will fit. I clocked the hot side of the turbo so that the DSM j-pipe pointed downward(which i rewelded to shoot out towards the driver side). I dont want to shave the block any or ghetto rig it. Should I extend the wastegate arm and use maybe an a/c mouting hole? Give me some help and some PICTURES!!!!!

I really dont want to run no filter, but I have thought about putting a very fine mesh over the intake.
