ohh and am i gonna experience any lack of acceleration if i leave the wastegate open??? besides the lack of turbo like will it affect the rest of the engine??? thanks for ur help guys

Are these serious questions or are you having a lend of us?

Go to www.google.com and start reading about turbos and engines... Then come back here with some reasonably intelligent questions please...

ATM mate, your making an idiot out of yourself IMHO... You have asked for advice but you don't seem to listen...

Your questions indicate to me that you don't know jack about engines / turbos / cars... Seriously where are these questions coming from???

strutto, thats a bit harsh isnt it? poor guy is trying to learn and there are a few posts here that arent really serious. It can be hard to know what is truth and what is fiction today - especially when there are so many 'experts' out there who all swear by different things.

getrippedoff, the wastegate bypasses around the turbine wheel of the turbo, the turbine wheel is spun by exhaust gasses that in turn spins the compressor wheel (at the front of the turbo) and creates boost.

If you disconnect the wastegate actuator, the exhaust gasses will take the path of least resistance, ie, go around the turbine wheel, thereby you will have no boost:)

Oil supply and water cooling having nothing to do with the wastegate, it is quite safe and easy to do as Joel recommended - and it will achieve what you are after with minimum work.

Probably... :Oops:

It's just when I read all his posts (in the other couple of threads as well), I get the distinct impression that it doesn't matter what advice we give him, he will do what he wants anyway, draw his own conclusions and make poor choices...

Either way getrippedoff, what Steve is saying is correct... you would be wise to listen to him... :cheers: Sometimes with internet forums, you have to filter the good information from the bad... The only way to do this successfully IMO is to have a good understanding of the topic at hand to begin with...

Go do some reading about how all this "stuff" works and you will be in a better position to make good / wise choices...

That better Steve???

      Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...

      It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
