socal850tuner Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Unless the 18T or 19T wastegate is bigger it is pointless. I would rather just get the bigger turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHEIII874T5M Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Yes, a few people have put the 300/70 Wastegate actuator from the 19T onto the 16T. It can help you hold more boost towards redline, but with a turbo with the size of a 16T that is not necessarily best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laird Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 The internal waste gate on Mitsubishi turbos is part of the turbine housing. If you have an angled 16t, you already have the same waste gate that a 19t has. If however, you are referring to the actuator, there is a difference and the 19t actuator can be transplanted. If you do a search, you should find the part number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poi Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Interanal wastegate? That sounds unpleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prasamin Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 I've heard of interracial, but interanal must be some new kinky stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesoam Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 yes it can be done, Greg put a Forge internal WG on his 19t, kind of wondering how that is working out :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
