Yes there are crap wastegates.There is speed of reaction, longevity to consider and of course getting the right size for your needs. Also correct mounting (most direct route for gases should be through w/g so off the turbo housing often best) . I bought a 50mm Synapse w/g which is one of the most expensive but there must be cheaper ones which will do the job.

and when it comes to size theres lots of factors including turbo size, manifold design and target boost. Kyle from 6 boost usually recommends bigger gates for his manifolds due to their design. think he usually recommends a 60mm

I'm not an expert on this, but yes there are a number of outcomes.

1. There are crap quality wastegates.

2. There are too small wastegates

3. There are too big wastegates.

4. There are poorly mounted wastegates.

5. There are wastegates with the wrong spring installed.

Hope that helps.

Hmmm. Thanks for the replies guys. I have ended up purchasing from ebay a jdm 50mm wastegate with an interchangeable 6 & 14 actuator. I'm hoping it does a good job but worst case senario I got a "v band" one so it's easily interchangeable. Cheers for the help though, if it doesnt work I'll change to the teil option ;)

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
