hey guys i no its a weird subject with mixed feelings but i was thinking of trying an external wastegate setup on my stock turbo... i believe that the ix is a twin scroll so i cant just make one hole in the manifold to tap for the wastegate, but f i made two holes(one on each exhast side) and then made a Y pipe tat connected those two holes to on 44mm wastegate, do you think that would work??? and what do i do about the factory flapper??

please any hlp would be greatful thanks guys let me know what u think

 

I have been thinking of building an 02 housing with a provision for an external wastegate. In my idea you would remove the factory flapper just like a Dsm bolt on turbo and let the external gate take it's place. I am curious if anyone has tried this yet?

my friend just did it and it was awesome lol

ill try to get him in here to explain it to you

 

oo thatd be great i would really no how he did it

 

Do a search, there is a pretty big thread about this subject, and the feller that made it even posted some pics of his o2 housing.

i tried doing a search but cant find any of them with actual info pretaining to the subject... any chance you no the creator of the thread

 

Yea that guy was me. I am trying to sift through all my posts but can't seem to find it.

 

That be the feller!

 

keep it internal. ive had external gate for almost 2 years. glad its not stock turbo tho. that gate will be open all the time. i here the subaru guys at like 2500rpm open gate.its annoying. my 2cents

 

since ive heard rev's open external wastegate im def gonna run the open it sounds so amazing even though its time and money for not much hp

 

Have you compared the sound(s) emitted by an open dump O2 housing compared to the sound of the remote(external) gated turbo? I think that you would get most of the noise at considerably less expense by going with an open dump O2.

 

yeah ive heard the 02dump but to me not near as nice

 

Yea mine isn't as raspy as the 02 dumpts and compared to the 02 dump that opens at 11lbs, mine opens at 21lbs. I don't think this is going to be that expensive since you can do the fab work yourself.

 

Rev has done it! Have him walk you through it! Opening at 21 is cool!

 

please elaborate?
