Thats where it gets expensive. You cant really run the external gate housing unless you are willign to buy a greddy manifold and gate, which soon gets expensive.

Have you spoken to your mechanic/tuner? What do they think of the exhaust housing setup? An easier solution may be to cut out the centre section of the flanged face and drill and tap some new holes around the perimeter, then get a custom dump pipe made up...thinking about it that probably the better option

i am my own mechanic....and part tuner lol...i do everything almost myself with a little help from a mate with a dyno...yeah i was just looking at the rear housing maybe i could cut out a nice round section off the housing where the flange bolts onto. and on the dump pipe weld a plate the same shape as the peice cut off....so when you bolt the dump pipe on it blocks off the section to the wastegate creating a smooth flow....really it will just work like a housing with external gate....but then drill out that welded plate over the wastegate and just simply weld a screamer pipe off the back of the housing.....this should stop the flow out of the exhuast wheel getting interupted by square edges...while the wastegate can still let the vented air out of the housing via the screamer pipe......this might sound a bit confusing in words...

Yeh, id be inclined to cut out the entire centre section and just drill and tap a few extra botl holes over the wastegate sid eof things ...then have a nice big 3.5-4" Dump pipe.

If your little partition leaks a bit of air, then the screamer pipe can sound a bit ordinary/ ie Leaks

Be interesting to see how you go Waldo. I have a similar set up on my R32 GTS-t and i find it has the best of both worlds.

Like Roy's car mine is a daily driver as well and is very comfortable on the open road and is never harsh in traffic at all (all be it from the clutch :huh: )

and on the track i couldn't think of a better turbo that suits my needs (club/track days, motokarnha's and hill climbs and drift) as i dont change a single thing with set up except for tyres and some fuel.

The car is about to have a bit of a face lift due to some dodgy fuel that was acquired last week but hope to have it back on the road soon and will post up the new dyno sheets.

Look forward to seeing the numbers you get out of it and i dont htink you will be disappionted with the turbo at all, but like Roy has already mentioned i would do away with in the internal gate set up and go external. You will probably find in the long run with initional set up costs and if anything goes wrong or for modifications later on it will be a cheaper option???

Cheers B

anyways i got a quote from greddy....and for a new external gated exhaust housing they wanted $785 so i think im just gunna stick with the internal gate and dont bother modding the rear housing...obviously greddy/trust no more than us or they wouldnt be in business. i was looking at it and the exhaust wheel looks good...because it doesnt have overlap in the blades so hopefully that gives it sum strong top end power...and also when i was opening the wastegate with my fingers....the flap actualli sits on an angle when opened so that the exhuast coming outta it flows straight out into the turbine area.

mate that is one nasty looking turbo. there are so many things wrong with that turbine housing and wastegate set-up. I hope you got it very cheaply. also i would advise against the screamer pipe on an internal wastegate turbo. all the ones i have heard sounded like shit.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
