Ollieh17 Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) As above need some advice! Edited January 13, 2014 by Ollieh17 Quote
Ollieh17 Posted January 9, 2014 Author Posted January 9, 2014 1. Will my current short route intercooler pipe work as I understand you need to rotate the turbo? 2. I've heard the manifold etc may not fit with the standard efi pipe? 3. Is it a pretty simple/cheap job to have the screamer pipe unplumbed from the decat and welded up? Quote
Starbuck Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 1. You may need to adjust the short pipe a little to match the rotated turbo. 3. Speak to Dean RW he can advise. But its not that big a job. Quote
asbo-v Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 And a rad ? Mine when straight on only modding was fmic as not top mount friendly and rad for a koyo one half size as stdard don't let you fit up leave the screemer as is Quote
Ollieh17 Posted January 12, 2014 Author Posted January 12, 2014 My screamer isn't plumbed into the decat so should be able to modify it to work with the standard rad Quote
Ollieh17 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Posted January 13, 2014 Did a search and didn't find much information on this. I understand I have to weld the internal wastegate in order to use the external one.Ideally i'd like to use a different method which meant i could resort back to stock setup. Seen in another thread you can buy special brackets like an actuator to hold it shut? Or could I just weld the wastegate control arm in place which would make the weld easier to break than the actual penny welded Quote

I have heard of a bracket like you mentioned! Quote
Ollieh17 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Posted January 13, 2014 got a pic of how its been welded? Quote
Zeldoz Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Check my thread, you may be able to see from when i took pictures before fitting it? Quote
TurboTobz Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 If yoy wanna revert get the bracket can easily be sorced on google Quote
Ollieh17 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Posted January 13, 2014 might be more effort to use a bracket than just welding and replacing the turbo after. As with the wepr kit the turbo has to be rotated Quote
triple j Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 What I did was put a tak weld on the waste gate arm where the actuator arm sits on, get someone to hold it in the shut position and put a nice tak on between the moving parts, then when u want to go actuator all u need to do is run the hacksaw through the weld, if u want I will show a picture of mine, it's tidy and works well no need for a bracket.
