Has any 1 on here tried the KD external gates? I'm curious to see the quality. I mean the quality of the turbo's seem quite high for the price I wonder if the same can be said for other parts they offer.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/External-Wastegate-Turbo-Turbocharger-GT50-50mm-/270877815373?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f1193724d

I have used kando lines and a kando manifold, they were all top quality in all ways.

I am not sure about their external gate but if the price was a good margin less I would be more willing to give it a go than I would any other generic brand.

I hope that helps.

front housing - massive. rear housing - tiny...........

EDIT: for the millionth time its the same rear housing on a T67 as a TD06 lol

could probably do it using one of those bolt on gate adapters provided the compressor housing doesnt hit the strut tower :thumbsup:

Actually im pretty sure if you read back through the 100 page thread Simon makes mention of trying to low mount it and what issues he ran into

i wouldnt go near that wastegate it looks like the rest of the cheap ebay gates only in a different box..............thats one thing you dont skimp on is the wastegate...............for the $299 you could get a tial 38mm or spend a bit more and go a tial 44mm for under $390 delivered to your door

you could get that same 50mm gate eiji is selling less then half off what he is asking check out ebay

EGT, monitor your exhaust temp when tuning. Tells you when you are starting to max things out or if you have restrictions.

Cool thing to have.

What does a setup like that cost and how easily can you hook it into most tuning packages?

Are you sure?? I can see that they use the same 11 blade turbine wheel BUT the housings CAN be different.. e.g 8cm 10cm 12cm..

I still believe the T67-25G is bigger than a TD06-25G especially if its a 8cm.. if i'm wrong let me know what 2 turbo's you are comparing cause it is a little confusing with all the different TD06 you can get cheers.gif

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
