Someone may think my Questions are retarded but what can a retarded do when he's lazy and doing nothing. Can a wastegate be mounted on the Exhaust Housing, meaning the Piece that connect to the downpipe, that is attached to the turbo Housing. And if You can how does it work like that. Please help retardo with this.

I am sure you could, but why you would bother with that is beyond me. Not to mention putting a big *** hole in your turbine housing.

 

That sounds retarded!

 

 

is that stuff in the garbage ?????

 

Na I had them in my mother cook pan(dont tell her). Its not the point or is this place getting packed with retards.

 

yeah ok this place packed with retards huh....what was your original question again?

 

if u put the wastegate on the downpipe AFTER the turbo it will do absolutley nothing...it NEEDS to be before the turbo, to defer the extra exhaust AROUND it, not AFTER it....

 

At least SolidSpruce has something interesting to say. Thanx.

 

To answer you question, yes you can. You can actualy have a flange on the turbine housing for a wastegete. Turbonetics has one:
and if you think about it, an internal wg acts the same way.

well I didn't think you were that "retarded". but why on earth would you want to put the WG behind/after the turbine? do you NOT know how a turbo system is supposed to work?!

 

He didn't say AFTER the turbine, he said ON the exhaust housing, which in reality is one of the best places to put a wastegate. You can weld a WG pipe onto the downpipe flange (on a 5-bolt housing) where the opening for an internal wastegate normally sits, and it makes for a clean install that is not very likely to have boost creep problems.

Think about it for a minute and tell me where you could tap a wastegate on your exhaust housing that would put it AFTER the turbine.

 

hmm...ok then, my mistake... but if you look at the photo he posted above what is that thing he is pointing to that says "put WG here"?

EDIT: maybe if it wasn't blurry or if he had it pictured from a different angle.
