Title: Internal wastegate help!!
Post by: CO_CReX on July 10, 2009, 08:59:59 PM: Hey guys! I am building a custom turbo kit for my H22 and I am running a T3 turbo and I need help with my wastegate because of the way I had to clock the turbo for the H22.

Here is what I am thinking...
(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi18.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fb133%2FCO_CReX%2FEG%2FPossiblewastegatebar.jpg&hash=d25c51687013743162dc9d3d0b1cfd97dc232934)

If I weld together rod that is the diameter of the wastegate bar to the design in red do you think the wastegate will still function properly?

Are there any other suggestions? I dont want to run external wastegate, this is a budget build.

Thanks in advance guys!

With that being said internal gate is fail, even in a budget build. Buy a used external gate, and weld that internal one shut.

I know man, I really wanna run this internal gate I can't afford to pick up a used one, I need to use what I have....

And yes I can mount it that way but it hits the outlet hardcore and I would never be able to get a coupler on it.

Unbolt the bracket for the wastegate and shift it up towards the manifold. You should have a straighter path to the mounting tab on the turbine housing. You might have to rotate the compressor housing slightly so the wastegate clear the turbo outlet.

I didn't think about that, I will give that a try.

Any other suggestions if that doesn't work?

or unbolt one of the turbine clocking bolts and mount it to that. Not rocket surgery.

yeah, you already have a flange for a 38mm, it will help you in the long run to just delete the internal now.
