hi all,

i have a gt3076r with a internal wastegate

is it possible to weld the internal wastegate shut and use a external wastegate?

would that work?

would there be any benefits from this?

im just curious, i just want to get the right information because ive been told many different things

thanks

chris

Well you'll only have benefits if the internal wastegate doesnt work correctly.

If its a proper Garrett housing, then it wont have problems and therefore you do not need one.

It will work, but i dont see the point. But the external gated version if you want it (they are cheaper too for just the turbo as the rear housing has no gate setup on it etc)

But he is not going to get any benefits if the internal gate is working perfectly fine

If the turbo is new just take it back to the store and swap it for an external housing then go buy a waste gate

I am running a GT3582 with internal gate and no problems 15psi / 260rwkw

i agree dano

im also running a 3582r-iw at 330 rwkw's at 24 psi with no boost issues

but if the man's convinced on chaning for some reason, dont weld the standard one just change housings.

Nice, I am hoping to push it up to around 20psi next tune to see what it does, what size rear you running?

At the end of the day if I had to go external with my setup I will just weld the gate cause the price of housings from garrett are nuts considering I probably wouldn't be able the sell the IW housing too easily

At this stage I honestly dont see the internal gate being a problem...

.82 and mines a auto rb25

the be 100% honest

the only reason why the though of welding the internal gate shut was because i want a top mount manifold

and every single damn manifold i have come across all are made for external wastegates

so the thought of welding the internal gate shut popped up in my head... :P

you can still run it high mount, Mine is!

Rather than bastardize your turbo just weld a bit of plate over the gate pipe - that's exactly what I have done

yeah of course it works!

Will cost you next to nothing if you have the manifold off the car...

Then if one day you feel the need to have an external gate and screamer its just a matter of grinding off the plate and putting an external on.

make a plate and bolt it to the manifold, use locktight and use some high temp goo around it to make sure it seals properly.

that way you don thave to take the manifold off if you change your mind

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
