TacoTaco external Wastegate question
Hey Gang, I am still plodding away on my turbo upgrade to my MSM motor.
I am using the TwistedMotion t25/t28 hybrid turbo.. Why? Cause I got it for $100 new. At that price, I am fine if it sucks.. as I have a Garret t25 I am rebuilding for future use.
However, In order to clock it properly, and use the internal Wastegate.. i would have to weld a new mount block for the wastegate, as there is not enough to drill into. So in order to avoid it looking just horrible.. I am considering an external wastegate. But given that the Tacotaco is such a tight fit and has the external wastegate port on the bottom of the manifold, I am not sure what would fit.
Has anyone put an external WG on their TacoTaco for a 1.8? What did you use?
