Patrick's build thread. (IT RUNS!)
#1232
Will the internal waste-gate on your turbo be "disabled" for your application? Was wondering how that plays into the setups on your and Thingo"s car?
I was looking a the next size down from your turbo...seems comparable in size to the new GTX35R. I will eventually get a turbo for the RAGE2 car which I am leaning towards a 3.0L crank instead of a 2.5 crank and be the same as Refresh951.

So the pic with the turbo and diet pepsi bottle, is that Patrick's actual turbo or just a picture from the net?
Do the turbo's actually look different. Every picture online looks like they have an internal waste-gate.
Just really curious what one looks like without the internal gate if different?

Turbos with an internal wastgate will have an actuator and a rod going to the wastgate on the turbine housing.

Sorry, that pic was just a random pic to show the size of it...which does appear rather large. It's about 5cm's wider than the GTX35. Not quite sure how much larger the diameter is yet.

A minor update. The new turbo went in and we found that the comp housing is quite a bit taller so we've lost 2cms in underhood space which means the intake is going to be very close to it. New intake is probably still a month away in his queue.
New twin 2-1 w/ twin X-overs and turbo back exhaust starting this week.

Hahahah!
BTW. Those housings are an absolute ***** to weld. When i cracked mine, no matter how many times we welded it, It would leak. It was because the casting was **** with pockets inside and the oil would travel. The crack was pretty bad though.
Hopefully that wont be the case with yours.

Got a feeling that the block has been plugged anyway. The covers are superficial I believe.

Haha...yes, that would be one way of beating us. Rule out H patterns!
