from my testings, running the same turbo externally gated on turbine housing with stock manifold made less power then the same turbo on aftermarket manifold internally gated, and even lesser against aftermarket manifold externally gated.

Turbine housing has been untouched all times, the manifold is restrictive. So scientific solution would be attaching the external gate to the manifold. But factory manifold is twin log, do them properly requires extra work and skills, (I'm in process of building one at moment) while external gate from turbine housing makes the job easier.

my car with turbo mounted on housing made the same power as Jez with an aftermarket manifold....

so it seems to me it does a perfectly good job munted to the housing..

i have seen similar comparisons with garrett turbos as well

plus its just easier on the housing and doesn't look like balls :)

My preferred spot is off the exhaust housing too...and that way you can mount the gate at a desireable angle as well which always helps..,,

So many prefer the gate off the housing but one still claims the manifold is better...I know who I'd listen to....

Woudn't you have to run a turbo with standard manifold with gate of standard manifold, and then mount it to housing to do a back to

back, to make that call? I like it of the exhaust, because i never have to worry about my stock manifold cracking and redoing it, just replace manifold, and 2nd, on a stagea a ex gate fits a lot better on the exhaust housing room wise

I've been considering getting s external wastegate welded to my HKS 2535. A tail 38. Who has the skills to do this for me? As I'm far from being a competent welder lol.

I like the idea of off the housing because if the housing is the point of greatest restriction then the gate should work best there and its also further away from the collector,

there might be better scavenging effect with it further away from the collector is my thinking.. :whistling:

Yo yo
In need of some advice! I don't know if should weld my waste off my standard manifold or if I should weld it of my turbo rear housing

You just love showing that porn off, don't you Bob. :P

It's a little 'In your face' for us over the pond though mate, hence why I prefer low mounting and hiding the gate.

Porn is right!

I agree its hell in your face, but the wastegate exit is in line with where the gasses exit the manifold, so not really any other option if you want the best flowpath i suppose.

If i was doing it again it would be my choice. Vband off the housing and leave the stock manifold be.

I remember Corky bell had a couple of pics in Maximum Boost of turbos with the waste gate mount welded to the turbine housing . I think his theory was that if you make it easy for the exhaust gasses to enter the waste gate it will work well . If the gasses have to make a 90 degree exit into the gate like say an integral wastegate system does then the higher the gas speed is the less its inclined to change direction and flow out the valve when its open .

Gate positioning would have something to do with how often you want to change the turbo or its turbine housing too , simpler spannering if its mounted on the manifold .

A .

Those tail manis look awesome. And make it very easy spannering with the v/band clamp as Scotty nm35 said 1 nut and it's off. What more could you want for making life easy. :)

    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
