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 ;)

      I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road.

      That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...

      Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
