Here's the wastegate R&R at Lindsey Racing's site. <a href="http://www.lindseyracing.com/wginstal.htm" target="_blank">Lindsay wastegate install</a>

Thanks!

As a matter of fact I looked that just after I posted this topic.
I was on right track,but there's few small annoying things. <img border="0" alt="[grrrrrrr]" title="" src="graemlins/cussing.gif" />
Some firkin' idiot has tried to do something with that wastegate,so there's
-one ball-headed hex key broken into a bolt
-one wastegate bracket bolt missing
-13mm flange bolts replaced with 1/2" bolts and I only had metric tools...
And,of course,every nut and bolt is either rusted or burned into a one helluva tight package...
I'll continue tomorrow with some new tools.

Today we ( well, Olli did.. ) installed Guru Chips and 3-bar fuel-pressure regulator

Im about to go try and get mine off right now. After a failed attempt due to a rounded off bolt. I got some "damaged nut&bold removers" and am going to try and heat it up first too. Ill see how it goes.

When i removed mine all of the bolts were rusted or heated onto the wastegate. So i had a huge torque bar on my wrench that i used standing outside of my car. Also i did this after a day of complete drenchedge of the bolts with lubricant. Also when you have all of the bolts removed you probably will have to pound off the wastegate to the cat with a hammer lol....
So hope it goes well. After 2 weeks of waiting for the sealing ring that attaches to the inlet to the wastegate that i ordered, i hope that i get it in tomorow.
Make sure your gaskets are good before you put your wastegate back on...

I didnt even notice any gaskets.... Ill look tomorrow. Well i got it off, it was what seemed to be WELDED to the damn pipe that goes towards the CAT. Also the crossover pipe, and the pipe to the wastegate were all 1 piece, not the sections like on lindsey racings site. Now, should i shim it or get a deltagate or tial? And on that topic for 250 on each of them, whats the better choice? A deltagate or 35mm tial?

And how bout' that modified dual port stock wastegate Danno?

I'm pretty happy w/ my lindsey dual-port. I didnt' get their multi-piece crossover as I did my turbo while the engine was out, but if you ever plan to do that kinda thing, get one (worth the $ for the headaches)
