there's a local guy here with a 3000gt TT that has his wastegate dumps sticking out the hood

 

Well we took everyones advice and went back to the drawing board ..more right up soon just wanted to share some pictures

 

Looks great Glen but wouldn't you rather have the inlets for the wastegates as close to the turbine as possible?

 

In my expirence they are better closer to the engine side. They seem to react faster and hold better...I am going to offer severak option on wastegate location so if some one would rather be closer they can...The fact is these are for you guys and what you would like to see.

 

Get my last PM btw?

 

Mild steel flanges?

 

I bet that will yield rock solid gate psi!

 

Not purging 321 is a waste of 321...

 

Honest question...

How can you tell?

 

The inside of the weld should look as good as the outside, not gray and rough.

 

Wow, well I assure you this tubing is 304 and it was back purged.............

 

That manifold looks like its made of pipe and buttweld elbows, and pipe which is only available in mild steel (and I doubt thats what was used) and 304 or 316 you can only get 321 in tubing not pipe.The welds look very good from those pics dont know if there was a back purge or not hard to tell from a tiny pics like that.Got any close up pics of the welds?

 

Here is a close up....

and you are right on the money...

 

but no pictures of the inside were posted

 

I kinda wondered that myself.....

couple of nice pictures we took for our upcoming site refresh. Thought these might give a better detail ...

 

I wasn't implying it wasn't back purged i was just answering a question

 

Cool, thanks for the clarification.
