Porting WG - Getting flapper open?
 

On the S5 turbo I am guessing you just bend the flat piece of metal on the outside of the hot side so you can open the flapper all the way.

Is that what I need to do? Don't see any other ways. Just don't wanna do anything boneheaded. Thanks

just take the elbo off and move the waste-gate actuator arm...it'll open fine...

Elbow...you mean that rod that comes from the WG acctuator?

no...the part that the down-pipe bolts to....the back plate or elbo or whatever you wanna call it. The part that covers the hot side...

Ah, that first picture is great! I will make sure I hit that like a skanky college girl ;-)

what is that turbo for?

Is that a stock housing? Is it yours? How did it work? That makes me consider using two 3/4" ports...or an oblong one instead of a big round one....

Are you asking in general what's a turbo for?

Admire your lack of restrain Parastie :)

The last set of pictures posted were a stock S5 hotside.

Mak - remember last night I mentioned in your thread that s4 and s5 wg designs were different.

Wait, I said lack of restain...which rhymes with crack....what I must have been doing when i typed that post.

he he he, no i know what a turbo is for. i ment what is that turbo to. what did it come off of? it looks differant then the other turbo i saw for a second gen. (waste gate looks differant, the other one i saw only had one hole for the waste gate.)

S4 turbo=one waste gate port
S5 turbo=2 waste gate ports

you learn something new everyday..... thanks!

no problem
