Post 930 wastegate on 951??

Is it possible to use a 930 wastegate on a 951? I know that the direction of flow would be opposite that of the 930 application, but would that adversely affect the life or functionality of the wastegate?

Would it even be an improvement? I mean, it IS dual-port design...

TIA, guys!

Also, they are serviceable/rebuildable, correct?

yeah, sure is. Call Spencer at Speedsport tuning in Norwalk, Ct. He can probably send you the pipe with the flange. 203-847-9339

What kind of performance and price would 930 wastegate offer?

It will allow you to hold boost better in the upper RPMs. On a stock turbo, there's not much to be gained by doing that. I've measured the same performance with the stock turbo dropping to 13psi @ redline vs. 18psi @ redline.
