Now guys I have 2 queries about ex gate on exhaust manifold..

First one is, I've been seeing and told that ezine gate is highly recommended to be welded onto rear housing of turbo and or right near the t3 flange..!!!

Second is obviously a 6boost manifold as the gate is already on the mani...

Does or anyone know if they both sound the same and if one is correct or wrong idea...

Thanks...

I dont like the look of it, and if you want to change turbos or housings later it sucks.

But I do like the boost curve from a housing/gate combo. You can nearly always put a ruler on it and it will be pretty close!

I had a td05 with gate welded on rear and never had any troubles,that said I'm now running a td06 on a modded stock mani with gate and no dramas there either..choice is yours and yes I've heard good and bad stories aswell but that didn't stop me doing it Just make sure it's a good job and don't skimp.If you have the cash a 6boost mani will yield more power top end tho.

Yehhh that's the hole reason for me to do this on the rear housing...

As I can't affords a 6boost mani cause I have other shit to buy first...

This option still allows me to run stock mani and all the same pipe work....

Thanks for the imput...

I went for on the exhaust housing - yes if I wanted to change housing more of a pain but if a stud breaks or the manifold has to come off that can be a pain too so both have advantages and disadvantages.

interms of sound, no difference as others have said.

these should help give you an idea of how to mount off the housing correctly.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
