Wastegate bracket on the torque tube.

Crazy Eddie

Hi Van
I should have thought of you and PM'ed you with this question
If you look at the picture ( on the left) the WG has a bracket that is at the top
that mounts to the torque tube( I got that part )
BUT this one has a bracket and hole on the Dump Tube Flange
Where does that mount? Does that go to the torque tube bracket as well
There is a hole with a nut welded to it on the bottom left ( drivers side ) of the bracket .....? Is that where it goes ?
Thanks bud
Regards
Ed

I am pretty sure its one or the other. The mounting style on the right may be earlier cars only. My '88 non-S came with the style on the left. Just slide the bracket on the torque tube forward or back depending on which type you plan on using.

Ed,

I wish I could help but unfortunately I frequent this forum mainly to ask rather than answer...sorry!

there is an answer to the (op) question. but nobody will post it.

It looks like the Escort car has a modified system to allow for quick and easy removal – You could get the wastegate out much faster with that set up. You can see where they shortened the pipe and moved the mounting flange down and rewelded it. The interesting thing is that it would change the wastegate input pipe – what does that look like?

The other folks already answered the where to mount it question.

And the answer to the last question -

You posted that at 11:17pm….all us old folks got back from the earlybird special, took a hit of Geritol and went to bed….hiding from the Robots…

Hey Ed. Been off line lately. Your pic you found is pretty good. If that was the question that was correct I messed around with mine last week. Had to replace the dounut on the waste gate. It's not to bad to reach with a long handled box end or a universal rachet.

It's overrun by a bunch of kids who are too stupid to figure out how to remove an oil filter.

in fact, this may be only a small part of the true answer.
