Wastegate Dump

[JHEIII874T5M]

Friend of mine has ATP's VES, has had it for over a year... it leaked after about 6 months and finally froze open, product is junk.

Was also annoying with our smaller turbos because whenever the turbo spooled quickly under load (like when using a mbc) the exhaust would suddenly be super loud. Frustrating to say the least.

No wonder they are out of production for the main unit and all the replacment parts with no ready dates :lol:

Hi,

Finally, I decided not to dump the wastegate to the asmosphere. I will port the exhaust housing like in this picture ( http://all.dejonpowerhouse.com/edit/A-01_P...ided_wWGate.jpg ) and I will machine a custom flange with a single 3" v-band like this ( http://www.theturbotrader.com/popup_image.php?pID=32 ). I will post a picture in a few days with my 16G bolted on my manifold with my custom DSM to Volvo adapter with the inlet step machined in it. Just like a DSM to T3 adapter but with the Volvo adapter ATP sells, all in a single plate. Now that I don't have to use a wastegate pipe, I have enough space to run a single 3" downpipe. I just ordered the bends and will keep my 2.5" elbows for the MAF to turbo pipe.

I just received my banjo fittings and bolts for the coolant, now going to order braided hoses for the oil. The project is growing fast at the moment.

Joseph, Ben, Johann and Turbor850, what lenght should I buy for the braided hose? Should I use banjo or 90° swivel or straight out of the block and straight into the turbo? I don't want too long hose hanging everywhere.

Thanks,

Pierre

That's just a cutout. They released one of those last year? but it was on an on/off switch i think.

so with these do you have to control it by using a boost controller? or can there be another way, like on some of the new techart porsche's that have a switch or button?
