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.

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
