Gate To Low?

[tets]

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...

hrm just put everything to gether theres not enough room to shorten it,

going to shorten it and put on a smaller tial gate or turbosmart. old trust gates are just to massive. in size.

thats pretty normal isnt it, about 4 out of 5 cars ive worked on have trust gateys sitting about that low.
