Internal wastegates are always a compromise, (except with the new BW turbos). They never flow well as the exhaust gas cant turn 90 degrees out of the wastegate port when its doing supersonic speed through the nozzle. Making the port larger will only mask the problem, I have also tried grinding the port to allow better flow and it made no difference in that case.

Plenty of gt3076s with internal gate make decent power and as for internal for stock turbos lol stao doest have a problem making well over 300 with internal

never said it cannot be done, but u clearly have never been down this path yet. some ppl like to learn the hard way :)

I was done that path with my old rb25 with a gt3071 on 270rwkw internal Gate and also a gt3540 internal gate on my rb30det making 346rwkw

Like I said I'm not goin to cry if I only get 290rwkw the mafia made that on 17psi with the sump pipe I bought of him which was custom made separating the internal gate and exhaust and made 315rwkw with meth injection with no mods done to his turbo

and i dont have a ex gate setup on the car atm im just buying a external gate gt3076 swapping the rear housings as i bought a dump pipe to suit

worse case ill just weld the gate closed and blow a hole on the rear housing for a ex wastegate :)

So gtscott do u think I should just buy the Garrett wastegate?

If you have the option get yourself the garrett big can item :thumbsup:

Apparently they help spool on a little earlier, but I honestly didnt see a problem with Mick_o's one (his is the small can they normally come with)

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
