TIal wastegate putting dent in my hood help
Sorry if there is already a thread for this but i searched for clearance and hood and wastegate and couldnt find anything.
Anyways my tial wastegate is putting a dent in my hood and i was wondering if anyone knew how to stop it from doing this.
thanx

Definitely depends on the manifold...I have a super small one in mine from my Drag mani, it looks like it clears with the Inline Pro. You can get an elbow that repositions the WG horizontally rather than vertically.

Well the dent is already there, so who cares? Anyway, With my F-max manifold I used to have, and a tial 35mm, it hit the skeleton on my hood.

i have a tial 38mm in my 99si and it hits the hood too, i used the prothan motor mounts inserts and used some clay to see if it hit again and its all good in the hood

Just buy an elbow from like importparts.com or if someone can make you one. Do that. They are cheap and you will not have to worry about it hitting anymore. Plus if you get a CF hood and it hits you will crack or spider it.

Depends on the manifold, you can make a wastegate elbow. What I can do is #1 send you the elbow w/ the flange pre-welded to the angle that is specified or #2. Send you the pieces and you take it to a muffler shop to get it welded. This will eliminate any issue of it not fitting properly.
PM me for prices.

Well put. if you're using a MBC. you just let it vent out anyways so you can take the nipple off at the top and gain that 1cm clearence.

Look at my hood, I used a small hammer and ding my till it clears.
It functions very well might I say.
If your not into the Hammer thing then your going have to spend the extra $20 bux for the elbow.
