Td04 external wastegate conversion?


Recommended Posts

Right, got a td04 kit on the way but I'm hearing mixed views on converting the internally gated td04 to external. I understand the way to do this is by welding the stock wastegate shut but I don't really like the sound of that. Is there another way of doing it and if not has anyone experienced any problems with this method? Any help appreciated

It's your best bet to be honest mate, welding the wastegate closed.

I remember reading somewhere that you can make a bracket to hold the wastegate closed. I think it was Dean at RW Developments that's made a braket.

Hope this helps!

I made a bracket and used a threaded bar to hold mine shut (ct9) it's held firmly closed and there is no movement in the bracket. Gives you the option of you ever need to go back to internally gated, not that I plan to tbh!
