tru but i guess it depend on what they were thinking when they designed the one that you have shown.

a lot of engineers design things in two dimensions and wont change unless forced too.

At a guess I'd say its cheap and easy to make two round holes and from the outside would look spiffy to some .

I reckon if I was going to make one I'd do something similar to what HKS did with the Pro S style dump pipe . I'd leave the divider in the flange plate and section (cut in half length ways) a smaller section of pipe and weld it to the side of the main outlet pipe . This gate vent path section would need to be fashioned with the nockometre to match the flange plate and probably Mig welded in place . The main turbine vent tube would be a mandrel bend and so would the "halved" wastegate vent pipe .

It would be nice if the flange plate was an exact match for the IW housing inc the divider , if the gasket is close enough it could be used for a template to laser cut provided the ask was for a reasonable quantity not just one or two .

just posting a reply so I can keep track of this thread..very interesting..

If you look up the top of a thread you can click options "track this topic" that way you will still get email notifications without having to reply, pretty handy.

I would check to see if the Ford versions gasket has the divider section because their housings divider does not rise to the same height as the Garrett Housings . At least thats what my pics show .

Cheers A .

i think it does but cant remember 100%.

it fitted perfectly...

just as a matter of comparison,what was the boost threshold for the GT30 vs the GT35

was the swap worthwhile for street performance,do you notice the 40+ extra KW all through the rev range or do you have to lean on it harder to feel the extra with the GT35

there's no doubt the ET/terminal velocity would be significantly different down the 1/4,but that's not what i'm getting at

which was the most fun as a daily driver?

cheers

ps let me know if/when you are looking at getting rid of your GT30 and how much you are chasing

on a serious auto then the gt35 is very smooth.

on a manual i would say its to big for a daily.

the gt30 felt a lot more agressive thru the mid range, and would well suited the manual skyline.

i will post up all the info on the package that im selling once i get the turbo back from gcg.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
