done a search on this but havent seen anyone post anything about this topic.

basiclly i have a trust manifold with trust gate. im sure many of you would have a similar setup on a rb25.

but while im dummy fitting it i noticed the wastegate sits stupidly low, the exhaust and wastegate is about the same height. i think this would be a huge problem but i might be wrong.

has anyone modified the trust manifold to make the wastegate pipe shorter? it seems to be a pretty tight fit where its located at the moment.

here is a pic

Ha ha ha... I would. Especially while you have it out still.. It should be a fairly simple modification, just get the flange re-welded back on by a competant welder/fabricator as the manifold gets very hot and turbulant right there... a poor weld will fail quite quickly.

Bump- Crunch- Woops...

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
