I hear people bash this thing all the time Im just wondering where is the failure point? What causes it to go, is there anything that can be done to prevent it and whats the most power that can be made on it?

 

not much can be done because of the shitty wastegate location. maybe try porting the hole a bit. the point where most people begin to see problems with these is around 400whp from that i noticed. the wastegate used also has a big impact on this tho

 

we just made 450 on a civic si w/ a drag 3 mani. tial HP 35 mm wastegate was used.

no boost creep.

 

I use a tial 38mm and port the **** out of the mani, works great no creep or spike.just my .02

Correction---that is a 38mm tial wastegate, not 35mm
