Whose external Wastegate?

[NBowlin]

I need to know whose external gate holds up. Also where you are getting them from would be nice as well. I am going to go from the exh. manifold to the hot pipe like a lot of others, but need to know which gate to use. We need to run about 50mm or so to work correctly? Thanks

Hey Nick how goes it? As far wastegates go you need to ask Piers he will point you in the right direction.

So is this what your going to do? Except use the manifold... ... ... it will be tight!

I think these are either 42 or 44 mm and work fine, a 50 mm will cost you about 500 bones.



BOTW, I made it to Germany on the way home.

Hoss;

It goes, but I try and stay out of the truck for the most part. I know if i get in there I will end up breaking something, and I'm too close to the end to handle any of that. Not to mention financial lock down... ... . washer, dryer, stove, flooring 3. 44million dollar a month house payments that are about to smash us. So I need to hurry up and git to makin some secret squirrel money.



Jim:

That is good news on not having to run a 50mm. I looked around and it is 500-800 bucks for one of those stinkin things.



Everything is tight and dont fit, but ends up workin. I learn fast nice try :-laf but yes something along those lines to save my h. g.



Oh and Jim thanks again for giving me an excuse to have Piers "fix" my pump. Also is putting my wastegate in there something Mr Burton could/would do? I believe he is the closest to where I will be.



I did get ahold of Mr Pius and he has 3 housings for my turbo that use a bolt pattern in the back that I am going to use. I cant get whats on there to seal to save my life. Funny thing happened. The gaskets in between the spacer plates melted and fell apart cause the studs loosened a little.



I had a scare with a headgasket once with this thing right off the bat, and 35's arent spose to fade out and make my truck fishtail at 70mph either! scared the crap out of me and the other guy. who knows what the guy in the white bmw was thinking.



Well Monday I will give one of ole Mr Piers' people a call and see how bad it will hurt, cause it needs to get put in there.

Yea, I'd bet he could help you with that,



That gate that Piers carries doesn't cost that much and I'd bet the pump checkout isn't going to be that much either.

NBowlin,

Try J. R. Adkins, he sells a 50mm wastegate for around $375. Very nice setup, give him a call 317-281-3130.
