wastegate question, need help
edit:
so i got the flapper off and the actuator bracket off but i can't get the flapper arm out.
any idea how to get this bitch out? i've got a dremmel but don't know what to use to grind this ******.
ok so i tried searching and came up with a thumb in my ***
i was going to make a down pipe for my 14b and run an external dump for the wastegate.
can i get rid of the internal wastegate and put an external wastegate inline the dumptube?
like in this pic
can i weld on a flange and put a wastegate in that spot? then have the dumptube coming off the wastegate.
also how would i go about getting rid of the internal wastegate flapper?
sorry for my noobness

Re: noob question about wastegate placement
yea, some dsm guys do it that way. As for the flapper im not sure since i dont have one in front of me, but some combination of a grinder, maybe a hammer, and some time should do the trick

Re: noob question about wastegate placement
ok so if i make on i'm gonna have that dump as an elbow so the wastegate don't sit down on the oilpan, but that will work then.
and i'm sure i can grind the flapper out, but bump for a better answer on that.
i guess if i grind out the flapper i can also port it out a little for more flow. would that help

Re: noob question about wastegate placement
how would i go about filling the wastegate flapper hole? i have a flux core welder so i'm sure i can't weld it shut.
what would be the best way to fill it? i already know jb weld won't work, is there something similar that would work?

MerkurColin: would the tap and bolt work?
