Default WASTEGATE QUESTION

I recently got a UGR cast manifold a/c compatible for my GSR.

The turbonetics wastegate I have will not bolt up on top because the vavle cover is in the way...

What would be a smaller in diameter wastegate to use? A Tial?

Well, basically the housing on the turbonetics is apparently huge from what i've heard by some people that have turbo'd cars so, I assume that's my problem.

I tried to line it up, i'd give it a good 1/2" off.

Importparts.com use to sell them pretty cheap with the flanges welded on. I had to get one for my drag kit when I got a Tial wastegate.

$35 is well worth it to me, rather than buying a new wastegate for a stock motor daily driver!

Thanks for all the help. Greatly appreciated.

Just fyi, a Tial fits perfectly on that mani wit no elbow. Boost control is excellent.

Eh, stock internals, not upping the boost at all... 7lbs that's it..

I got an adapter, going to see if it works now
