What Wastegate size should I go with??? My current engine setup is JE pistons and Eagle rods with welded in blockguard. I am planning on running aobut 7psi on the street and max of 24psi at the track. What would be the ideal wastegate to handle this type of performance requirements.

Also how are the Tial 50mm BOV. I have heard some good things aobut them, but I haven't seen an actual post that would discuss the pros and cons.

Thanks for all your help,

Rafal

 

Get yourself at least a 40mm wastegate and the tial bovs work great. Never had a complaint about them.

 

Thanks for the info.

Anyone else has any comments?

 

What turbocharger are you going to be using at 24lbs? I have heard nothing but good about the TiAL BOV.

 

I got my two TiAls last night....very sweet as usual.
I didnt know this, but they are made right here in my homestate of Michigan

at least that was the address on the instructions.

 

yup they are made in ossowo MI its about 50 miles out side of detroit from what i hear.

 

whats wrong with a tial 35mm wastegate?

 

That is what I like to know????

Also what is the exact address for Tial, I might be visiting their factory soon.

 

Its just a PO box on the instructions....
call them maybe?

 

nothing wrong with them. It is just better to have the 40mm when your running "high" boost.

 

WHY??? I think the explanation is what we are looking for, not just a statement, but thanks for your opinion.

LOL probably because they flow more.

More boost=more exhaust gasses=needs larger hole to flow thru.

 

exactly, less chance of creep with high psi too.

 

what compression ratio are you running? and on what motor

 

thats wont hold 24lbs for long.

Well in stead of being a smart a$$ go to Tial web page, technical section and READ!!! maybe than you will understand why I am asking that question.

As to the blockguard holding up. There is a guy on this board that is running 28psi on pistons and rods and nothing else so I think with proper tunning 24psi should be no problem. But I will try to minimize the boost to 20psi just in case .
