garrygt Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Port the wastegate mate. That should solve your problem. Also if funds allow buy a hks actuator. Second hand can be quite cheap. Its an easy job to port the wastegate aswell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its an easy job to port the wastegate aswell. I have a brand new HKS actuator in my garage. Haven't got around to fitting it. I will remove the actuator, decat and port the wastegate as soon as i get around too it. Just worried i do some damage by overporting ext... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maddox710 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Just take a little of at a time till it's nice an equal round the port, but make sure the penny has enough contact when closed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zeldoz Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 Just take a little of at a time till it's nice an equal round the port, but make sure the penny has enough contact when closed I'm going to do that.. what kind of dremmel head would i need to port the wastegate with? As i'll need to buy another head.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garrygt Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Id measure the wastegate penny then use the dremmel to bore the hole leaving a few mm either side. Just take your time and keep checking and you will be fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites

garrygt Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Id say it would sort your problem out anyway if your on a budget. An external wastegate is the best cure but as you said its a waste of money getting a ct9 set up. Should solve your problems for now mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Went mad the first few weeks. Needing it to look better, as the OEM look didn't appeal to me! --- Current engine bay picture taken this weekend. Ignore the red silicone, it's a temporary measure!! I think next on my list blue TRD oil cap.. to bling the bay a tad more! Where else can i bling the bay? Need suggestions!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll hold out till end of month when i can afford both! Just booked 2 nights in London with the Mrs's in December. As you can imagine, London hotels are really cheap.................... After anything for the bay/interior now. Aiming for my TD04 conversation so the majority of car funding will be aside on that. But little touches here and there is what i hope to do inbetween. Like Indigo dials, 3 pod gauge holder, blue LED's in the interior dials (Heater switches etc...) and anything else reasonably priced i can lay my hands on!
