    Wastegates: internal vs external

    Hmmm I'm not sure if I understand that one completely. For instance the dm67 comes with a 46mm gate. Would the it perform better with a .58 ar or a .70?

    Wastegates: internal vs external

    Ah. Thanks ij. So I guess I'll be lookin for a non internally wastegated turbo, would a larger or smaller wg help spool a turbo with a larger ar, or do they have a big effect on each other?

    turbo elbo
