Just have a decent shop chop the downpipe up, and weld a larger WG exit pipe on there. It should be at least 1.5 inch, you might as well go for like 2. It looks like you could barely fit a pencil into that damned pipe.

 

If that was my car Id just cut that divider plate out. I figure theres a 90% chance that thatll fix your problems. Yeah sure external wastegates are better but they are more expensive and more work. You are doing this work yourself right? If you paid someone for that piece of crap you need to try to get them to fix it. Doesnt look like they know **** about turbos.

 

If you want a quick fix, do like Mighty says. Cut that ****** plate out and all of your problems will be solved. If you want to make more power, ditch the overpriced downpipe and get a real shop to make you one....

I don't think the plate is in the way because it used to work =\

 

I think u should go down to RJs and ask them to compensate you for the loss, and if they do not, file with the better business buruea and tarnish their repuation for good. Or just throw a molotov cocktail in there after hours and let them know just what loss is.

 

Its hard to tell but I thought the flapper might hit that divider plate. If you say it doesnt Id guess that little pipe is too small. Cutting out the divider would fix that too. What did it look like before?

1.) Remove the turbine housing and/or turbocharger from the vehicle. The turbine housing Wastegate arm will need to either be completely removed (Read Cut out with a torch) and the holes welded shut with nickel rod (using the pre-heat weld slow cool down method so the darn thing doesen't crack) or you could perhaps try http://www.muggyweld.com products, i haven't had any personal experience, but they have good claims and demonstrations.</TD></TR></TABLE>
Just a comment on that MuggyWeld stuff. Never had any experiences with it but it says on their site that the fillers melt at 300/650 degrees F. Either way that would never hold exhaust piping together (read: melt).

 

Charlie Moua, that is a DSM tubular o2 housing....looks like a housing made by VRS. Usually around $300-$400 depending on SS or aluminized and 2.5" or 3"


There are quite a few other companies that make similar housings....
Victory Performance is another....I use this housing with some minor port matching and clean-up around the WG merge.



I'm not a big fan of the VRS housing because it is such a drastic re-entry into the exhaust route. The Victory housing is a better merge re-entry. One thing you will find with the DSM guys is that they do not fuss about WG re-entry like it is on H-T all the time. And this is not the only thing that is overly-internet engineered on H-T
