External Wastegates

I felt bad enough putting an $80 WG on my $100 manifold Then again, my motor was only $250 so I can buy 2 more for the price of the Greddy WG :biglaugh:

Funny this thread came up.

I have the SSAC Manifold & Wastegate.

Manifold works great, Wastegate works great.
With the dude a while back with the leaking at idle... make sure you don't have slag sitting in the wastegate sticking it open. I've had this 3 times now, i'm getting really good at removing my downpipe & wastegate LOL

I'm assuming the slag is coming off the wastegate runner section of my manifold as none of it has gone though my turbo or my turbo is stronger than slag lol. I have no play whatsoever in the turbo. Getting the slag stuck in the wastegate and forcing me to drive on 8.0:1 cr with no boost sucks hahaha

But for mechanical ability the wastegate is primo!

REAL HKS 50mm for me

Runs ROCK SOLID. No creep or oscillation at all.


For all of you guys worried about wastegates sticking, have you ever heard of boost cut? I run my GT40 at 1.25bar, and have the boost cut set at 1.3

You and me both. I'm not running this setup yet, but it's sitting in my room waiting for me to get my car done.

Pics- The authentic Greddy manifold and authentic HKS 50mm wastegate are mine. The turbo is not. (these are pics of right before they were shipped to me) Click to enlarge:





I'm sure gilberjj will recognize this setup.
