    wastegate on downpipe?

    the turbo bug got me again and i started looking for a turbo manifold. then i ran across this:

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/OBX-TURBO-HE...ea164c&vxp=mtr

    this is interesting because, it looks like it retains the factory flange for the cat, and looks pretty stock. then i noticed the w/g flange is welded on the DP. wouldnt that make it not work? i always thought it was supposed to be mounted on the manifold or the turbo.

    is this worth the price? seems like they took a lot of the work out getting a DP fabbed.

    That isn't where you mount the wastegate it is a flange so you can recirculate the dump tube into the exhaust. It says it in the description*

      If you look closely you can see the flange for the wastegate on the manifold.


      Its there, right where you expect it to be.

      Like he said, what you are seeing on the DP is for the WG to feed into. Ideally the DP will look similar to a Y on the end. One end going to the hot side of the turbo, the other to the WG. The WG will be much smaller in diameter.


      The WG DP doesn't look like its supplied in that kit.

            I have one of these kits in my garage. The fitment was brutal and the wastegate didn't meet up with the recirculating flange anyways
