Uprated Wastegate choice

[Jamo]

Guys anybody give any advice on selection of an uprated wastegate and which size wastegate to choose for the 500-600 bhp range?

Is Tial the best choice?

Which size? 44mm 50mm or 60mm?

There's a few replica styles on ebay I'm guessing these are inferior and will fail?

Any advice welcome

I know some guys who is runing more than 600HP on stock WG.Are you planing to run low boost?

Terrybullwon has told me about them.

Jon can you PM me details on the size and why your going to use one.

50mm was fine on my car, that was an HKS replica. I stripped it down when it arrived, looked ok inside, put it back together and it never caused any problems. But if you can afford it then go for a pukka one, but no less than 50mm IMO.

stock one is only 38mm, and if you use a decent manifold, are running 500+bhp then its gonna struggle to keep the boost down, esp. at high revs.

I've seen a few cars running ~600bhp with stock WGs. Although after Cees's experience it seems that is about the limit.

I have the Turbosmart 50mm Power-Gate, its a very nicely made piece of kit

Hi Mark,

Is there any specific reason that you have bound all of your EM pipework in heat protective tape? Were you melting other components or are you trying to stop the EM cracking or some other genious plan?

To help prevent the exhaust gas heat radiating out through the manifold. The hotter the gas the more kinetic energy it has and it will flow at a greater velocity.

Yep thats about it, mind you I expect the heat will kill the EM at some point in the future even though its well braced.

I still need to finish off a few things like general tidying up of hose/cables runs and bodges, fit a new gearbox, and get it mapped. I'll post some more pics when its done and happy with it, hopefully soon
