I cut the nut part of the fitting in 1/2 and even cut a hole in the fiberglass frame of my hood. Still wont close, even w/ the hood latch all the way @ the top. What can i do.

 

get an elbow for the wastegate.

which manifold ar eyou using? and which wastegate? tial 35mm?

 

I have an earls elbow and it still wont close. Its a tial 35mm and inline pro mani. Im considering using some washers to lower my motor. I dunno what else to do.

 

Oh you mean to move the wg on its side. Anybody make those?

 

If you have a good welder you can make one out of a 45 degree bend and two flanges. I think Revhard and or Inlinepro makes a wastegate elbow. Also if you're not running a boost controller, you can just take that top fitting off of the wastegate.

 

Thanks ill call them tomorrow. The reason I need the fitting on top is cus i have a trust MBC i will need to use.

 

drag makes them.. my friend has one on his del sol.

 

yeah i should've gotten one of those. now it's a little late though... already poked a giant dent in my hood. meh.

 

That means im gonna need a new dumptube, fock! Im about to put my stock hood back on and just dent it baby!

 

i am goin to cut my hood support bar part it look like it might clear if i cut it

 

I just used a small brass 90 degree on my Tial and it cleared just enough. You can pick these pieces up at local hardware stores or Home Depot. Good luck, Allen

 

Ill have to try that first.

 

I would try raising the height of the springs or the dampers by the latch a bit...

 

hit up HT member iC Roger he has some with flanges on each end for like $30. i think they are made for DRAG manifolds but it may work. hth.
