Externally Gating Your own Manifold... Can it Be Done?

[StarletMad]

After paying out loads of money lately for other bits n pieces i really want to go to external w/g...

Im looking at making my existing TD04 mani into externally gated manifold.

Anyone done this before? Or can give me advice on how to go about it.

Cheers Jono

No reason why it can't be done. Just need a flange, pipe a hole in the manifold and a nice strong weld. Was going to do it to shortys old kit but went for a wepr ram manifold.

Simple as i thought also lol

Rather not spend another £400-500 on a new mani + De-cat when i can do it for £20 lol

If the makers didnt build the manis so the turbos sat at an angle so your pretty much forced to buy a de-cat aswell then id just buy a mani... But not gonna fall for that lol

i thought i read somewhere that the wastegate has to be at a certain angle for the gases to flow and also not too close to get hot and damage the diaphragm

How about i get one of my mates to show me and il measure his up and could copy it maybe?

Every manifold kit I've seen are all in differnt places. The pipe coming off my new wepr ram style is only about 25/30mm long. The zisco ram on curls round from the front. Just look at the manifold and put the waste gate where you want it.
