Hi guys, my mate and i attempted to mount a tial 44mm waste gate onto my manifold today and ran into a few dramas. I bought the gate without the v-band clamps so went down to gcg turbos to get a vband. It fits on the waste gate inlet and the manifold individually but will not clamp when the surfaces are mated. It seems as if the clamp is too narrow to get around both flanges. Are there specific v-bands that suit the tial 44mm gates? Thanks

Hahaha that's not a stupid question. Any help or suggestions are much appreciated (especially when im so close to getting this thing on the road). It feels pretty solid though so I'm not sure if that would work. It feels like there is a gap between the two flanges becuase of tge valve seat ring.

Try it with the new Turbosmart HP range, 45psi of spring would be a bitch.

Can you get in there with a lever? I sometimes have to put a block of wood on top of the gate and lever it with something to keep pressure on it, while someone else does up the bolt.

I might actually be able to lever it with a pry bar off the sway bar.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
