O.k. i'm wondering why would a company that is making currently the best turbo chargers on the market equip some of them with internal wastegates if they don't work?

I always see recomendations to use an external wastegate. I would need a gt2871R or the gt3076R but would love to see the internal wastegate working. Did anyone try their 38mm internal wastegate design?

 

Ahh, the internal wastegates work just fine. Maybe that's why

 

well that's not what the majority of HT thinks, at least i got that impression.

 

I find it funny how the cars from the 80's are still running internal gates with garrett T3's - well past 20psi. Many people claim its because hondas have so much exhaust flow, but when you realize they use turbos half the size on motors 50% larger than the standard HT setup, that argument gets tossed out the window.

Most of the problem is because people have crappy vacuum line setups and downpipes. Many people think that if a wastegate line tee'd off the FPR works for 10psi, it should have no issues at >20psi. In other words, people would rather focus on large parts like manifolds, turbos, and wastegates than focus on the little things to make their setup more effective.

 

good to know!
