1293 turbo saloon, update 26/06/14 running again, mot time
Turbo Mini Forums

hi eden, you not worried that the long arm for the wastegate will become fragile under the weight of the wastegate under heat?

Also will there be any problems/delay from the exhaust gases flowing to open the external gate with it being so far away from the ports?

looks good though i was hoping to run a kad set up but was just to intrusive to my set up and i didnt want my gate being so far away.

Both crossed my mind taz. Im going to fit a bracket to hold the wastegate up and the distance was my biggest headache when I was planning it. But I did a fair bit of reserch and concluded it should work fine. (fingers crossed)

Tbh I wanted it at the side as the only other option was how youve got yours and I dont like to do things the same as others.

yeh definitely get a bracket made as my WG isnt heavy heavy but its heavy enough to not want it free floating like yours, i've known of some that have snapped being shorter.

be curious if there is a bit of delay, mine is bloody impressively responsive but it is bang on the collector. have to let us know once you drive it :)

haha its ok make i dont charge for copy righting :) i actually got the idea from supermotolee i just got mine done first hehe

can we take bets on how long it lasts before snapping? i think it goes on the dyno!

sorry to be mean eden i'm only playing :) i did it shorter but i dont know much about gas flow and metal fatigue etc so played it safe

also intersted in your reasults hope it works for you mate!

Cheers both, with a brakect it should be fine.

The other thing I tried to do is take the wastegate off the mani as close to the center as poss, as in my head it made more scense.

And let me know of any other thoughts, its very difficult to plan on my own. Wonder if it wil work 1st time

Get some shiny new bolts in there too match

Have you not seen the rest of the car

Got the allen key bolt for the steady, but I have to have the steady off to allow me to slot the manifold and turbo in so I left the bolt in the bag
