Should be getting my exhaust soon and was wondering if it is necessary for wastegate integration as part of the system.

If there is no wastegate integration is there a chance of blowing the turbo up and has the stock exhaust got this integration.

Dont really know what Im talking about so please let me know.

But with a wastegate pipe it improves............ the flow and reduces turbulence just after the turbine

turbulence i s the disruption of air ... if you have turbulence, then the air flow is not linear, and if the air isn't all going one way at the same time, you'll have a reduction in the flow and and increase in restriction

I recently got my dump pipe done and its been a fantastic improvement. I went with a single pipe with a really wide opening at the top. Having had a look at the standard pipe its obvious how much better this is. The stock one on the 32 has a cast iron flat section just about blocking the wastegate area off... its horrible.

A larger single pipe is probably enough for most people. And theres little guarantee it will be better if you buy one with a separate wastegate pipe. This is because it may rejoin too early or too late causing similar turbulence issues within the system.

You'll see improvements either way, however the difference between the 2 styles of dump pipes probably cant be felt on an arse dyno (only a real one).

I'm geting my exhaust done next week. I pikd up a exhaust housing gasket, $20 and have since taken to my exhaust guy. He is going to weld up a new plate and incorporate in a seperate wastegate dump.

the dump off the back of the turbo will be a rapid increase to 3', the wastegate pipe will be 1"1/2. The exhaust guy has recently done something similar to another GTST, but the wastegate pipe entered the system down near the cat convertor.

My question is - "is this TOO far back? I know the further back the better. But we are talkin about 1 - 1.5m here".

"should I also thermal wrap any of the dump pipe???"

btw full 3" zorst turbs bak with hi flo cat and rear muffy etc etc..

tks.....

opposed to GTS-t VSPECs whos comes in at a right agle :)

Whether apart of the normal exhaust or a seperate screamer pipe, that joins back into the main exhaust at any section, or not at all.. wont hurt your turbo..

Id say the ultimate is an exhaust dump, one pipe with a secondary wastegate screamer which never enters back into the main pipe. Thats my next goal when the exhaust comes off..again.

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
