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?

Pat is the 1st person I know of to do this.

Why in the world would you go to all this trouble to use perhaps the crappiest chinacharger of them all?

Because I felt like it.

:burncash:

Ok good luck with that

There is space for it below the mfld.

Move it around a bit with a weld el if necessary.

corky
