Good idea or bad idea?
Anyone know of the downsides to it?
And has anyone done it on a Starion, if so would love to know what you think about it
Thanks people
External waste gate
External waste gate
I have a car. I use it to drive to work, to drive to work I need petrol, petrol cost money, I must work to make this money… it’s a vicious cycle!
Hi SOWTZ ,I don't think it would make much of a difference unless you are running a huge turbo that needs more wastgate flow to control higher boost

I have been told that 500hp + at the flywheel, (approx 280rwkw + ) you should start looking at an external gate on a 2L - 2.5L. That is running more than 18psi...
That's just a guideline...
Look at the garret turbo range... look at the hp ratings and where they start to move from interal wastegates to external waste gates... that should give you a bit of an indication of when that think you should be using an ext. gate...
my 2 cents

I've got a tc05 on my starion, it was working fine for about 6 months then it decided to start overboosting , I found out what the problem was. I removed the exhaust housing and milled out the wastgate passage under the flap so it had about 2mm contact all the way around the flap, it's working fine now.
