Just got an external wastegate........ not sure were the best spot on the manifold is to mount? I know its somewhere in the middle; should I drill stright down on top? or drill off to the side alittle cause the flange is in the middle?

 

are u doing a single or compound turbo setup?

 

im running a single turbo and making to much boost..

 

Too much boost? Didn't know that there was such a thing?!
How much is too much? What do you have for a turbo?
What did that wastegate set you back?

 

Ya there is a thing called to much boost and to much drive pressure and
i have it.Im running a A5000 with a 1.0 houseing and spinning it to 70 psi
i think it out of its mapping and drive pressure through the roof. I got a
TAIL waste 44mm for $360 and i really nice boost controller for $60
also;

 

i assume u have an aftermarket exhaust manifold, make sure when u weld it up u get someone who is good at welding on cast iron, the ones i have seen have the waste gate flange welded in the middle lower portion of the manifold

 

If you weld to the cast iron just make sure that you put a blow torch to heat it up to 400/500 F. before you weld.PLUS don't get it too hot,just enough to set the weld.

 

Right on thanks
