my external wastegate on stock turbo!!
like it says i just finished making an external wg set up in stock turbo... i no i no theres really no fans for it but for the few who like the idea heres what i did and it works great!!!!!!!!!!! and sounds amaing and holds boost way better!!
oo yeah im 19 and did this all myself so it doesnt take a pro to do it just a few days and some time...
so here it is
this is the drive by outsideof car cam... i thought the vid cam out btter then it actually did i was at the top of the gear by the time i got to the camera and didnt relaize where he was haha... tis doesnt do justice to how good it sounds in person TRUST ME!!!!!

and this one is the boost gauge the controller is set to 21lb spiking 25 though... couldnt really hld ong though due to traffic

megan manifold reinforced with stringer welds so it doesn crack
just a pic of all the sutff outta the way
pic of the new mani on the motor
another random pic... think it looks mean with no front bumper haha
now is where its ges tricky... i made a Y pipe to connect the two chambers of the exhaust to one 38mm wastegate flange
then pull the trbo out and take off the o2 housing and you gotta weld a plate over the wastegate flappe... sry dont have a pic of mine with the plate on
picof the mani with the wg on the turbo
and finally a pic of it all together again
sorry dothave a pic of the dump tube...well thats about it... let me know what you think, or if you want any ore info on it!! and i will post a video tomorrow... sounds so amazing, IMO btter then o2 dump for sure!!

The turbo is effectively being powered by two cylinders through one hole of the twin scroll turbine housing when the wastegate opens.

This is a great point as its only dumping exhaust from 2 cylinders. I am willing to bet that it has lost power and torque, but gained sound. Its all about what you are looking to accomplish.

What there saying is the the exhaust pulses are supposed to be kept seperate from each at all times. So to do a external wastegate set up on twin scroll you really should have two wastegates or the y-pipe you made needs to be divided right up until the seal on the wastegate to keep them seperate.
If you dont exhaust pulses go back down the other set of runners and causes turbulence and less exhaust escapes from the chamber so on the upcoming intake stroke it cant pull in as much air.
Hope I made sense kinda early waiting to leave for work.
