got a new wastegate, few ?'s
i got this 50mm hks style wastegate. im just wondering what side connects to the manifold and what is the dump.
just basing it off the picture and logic id assume the smaller flange (the square 4 bolt in pic)
is the dump tube, also because they say it comes with a dump tube and thats where it connects.
the other flange thats not pictured is larger and looks more like a t3 flange.
also there are no nipples on this thing. just threads in 2 locations,
also this thing is pretty big and feels like a solid 15-20 lbs. is that normal? this is my first turbo setup but it seems kinda heavy, are tial wastegates aluminum?
and i know that its a cheap wastegate and i dont wanna get flamed for it. if it doesnt work ill learn my lesson
