hey guys was looking into putting an external gate on my car but not sure if it will make any diff at all? mods to the car are yellow jacket coil packs vg30 tubro fmic turbo smart dual boost controll what u guys think?> any idea what i need? without stating the obvious

Whats the use of splashing $$$$ for an external gate when you have an internal>>>>>and>>>>you intend upgrading your turbo anyway?

Wait until you upgrade your turbo and ECU and then do it all at the same time, then you will only have to pay for new dump and pipes once!

And absolutely no gains at all until your pushing up to 300rwkw. Then not so much a gain as better wastegate control. But there are ppl on here with internal gates that will swear that they have it all under control at over 300 - it just took them a while to finesse their setup.

In the future go 'what is my goal?' and then figure out what parts are needed to obtain that goal, don't do it backwards and go I want this part but I don't know why.

But... Racecar :(

external or internal is application specific. you could get the most epic internal gate turbo out and have zero use for an external gate or you could want to run a turbo that does not have a good internal housing available and will need to run an external gate.

putting it simply:

stock NO

35R YES

2835 pro S NO

3076 .63 YES

Kando T67 YES

Hypergear NO

Do some reading and you will see what I mean. Bare in mind that you cant necessarily search for 'external gate' and find the answer, you will need to read lots of results based threads to find out what ppl are doing with what turbos and what the effects are.

A good example of this is Simon S14 with a 3076R and .63 rear housing using an external gate, generally speaking a .63 is a terrible thing on a 3076 RB25 but Simon is one of the only ones running it as an external gate rather than internal. A good comparison in results to this is the lots and lots of people who can successfully pull off a .82 internal housing. That shows you not all things are equal and you need to know your turbo before try to pick its setup.

^Hi-jacking thread*

I have a gt2835r on my rb20 r32 tracky and my internal gate is jamming on the dump pipe, I've had the dump pipe off about 10 f**king times shaving more n more out of the dump and it is still getting caught, I'm thinking of changing to a external setup just to avoid this issue. What are your guys thoughts? Unsure of rear housing size sorry.

Cheers- Trent

so you are going to run an internal gate setup and an external setup.

im sorry but that has got to take the cake as one of the dumbest things I have ever heard

are you running the HKS GT2835? and its HKS dump pipe?

seriously, get a new dump pipe

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
