wastegate question..?
 

hey everyone i have a little problem. lately ive been haveing problems with my wastegate hitting my radiator. Ive looked around the net quite a bit and have found very little turbo setups like mine with an external wastegate. my idea is to make my turbo an external wastegate rather then the stock internal, this would give me at least 2 inches of clearance therefor solving my problem. i was in the market for a new exhaust mani anyways. so main question is, is it that hard to convert my turbo from internal to external? please anyone help

Re: wastegate question..?
 

I dont forsee being to hard, considering that your goint to change to a diff manifold.. and its also dependant on your turbo.. since you gave no spec.

Re: wastegate question..?
 

oh sorry its a PTE 50trim with a 49ar. is the removal of the old wastegate hard or is it just unbolt internal/ put external onto mani?

Re: wastegate question..?
 

You might need a new downpipe flange that blocks off the internal wastegate.

so all there is is a blockoff plate..? sounds pretty easy. I did find a t/3 t/4 turbo kit that includes everything from the header to the external wastegate and the turbo but its from ssautochrome anything wrong with them..? heres the product. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT

EVERYTHING!

Re: wastegate question..?

Re: wastegate question..?
 

just weld the flapper shut. you dont need some fancy flange. especially ssauto

Re: wastegate question..?

Re: wastegate question..?
