Well my tial wastegate is having a bitch of a time clearing my hood with the blox manifold. It will close, but I know that when I get on it, it will raise and probably put a bump into the hood.

I was thinking about going with a wastegate elbow, but I was told that you will lose horsepower by doing that. Iwas just wondering if anyone had any experience with actually losing HP after switching to an elbow.

 

if it clears and only hits when ur shifting, get some stiffer mounts

 

I have the same problem. Im concerned with the elbow cracking from the weight of the turbo. I dont see you losing power, maybe a very small percentage of boost control

 

I got some ES motor mounts, but it should still move a bit. It will clear, but it puts a lil dent in the hood as it is. If it raises it could have some problems. Either way that wasnt the question.

I was wondering if you lose power by going with a wastegate elbow instead of having the wastegate on the manifold itself.

 

you surely wont lose power, but your wastegate will not function as well.

Just think about it, erre er er errre er errre er er errrr, errre er erre er er er errre errrrrr, just think about it.
