Wastegates are internal on the turbos hence there are 2. You can upgrade the actuators. These control the wastegates.

They are removable and can be replaced with adjustable ones. Garrett and HKS ones both fit. There are probably other ones you can get, that will fit.

standard and n1 turbos are internal or integral wastegate, which means the wastegate is integrated into the exhaust housing of the turbo, so when you upgrade the turbos the wastegate on them will already be the right size to suit the turbo.

external wastegate turbos have no gate in the turbo itself and use a seperate or external (hence the name) wastegate mounted somewhere on the manifold

when you say wastegate please clarify what you mean

do you mean the spring actuator rod (most people refer to this) - this controls the minimum amount of boost you run before the wastegate opens

or

do you mean the wastegate size itself - this bypasses pressure off the housing and maintains effective boost control

Well yes i realise that Jono :P - but WHY does he want to upgrade them as i said.

Being able to or not doesn't tell anyone much at all.

Perhaps there is something the OP has been told by a mates mate that he needs to do to fix some issue/enhance performance or anything else weird and wonderful that can occur after a few beers down @ the pub :)

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me  
    • That's my life. Past-Duncan has a lot to answer for
    • Yep four point harness. Mounted to a bolted in brace running behind the seats. Dont use it for daily driving tbh but good to have for when its needed plus it looks cool.
