People keep asking me why I don’t upgrade to a 44mm wastegate…
It’s annoying, because putting a larger wastegate in only decreases resolution, and is only needed if you’re looking to run LESS boost. The only reason to run a 44 or 50mm WG is if you’re getting boost creep up.
I’m just sick of people thinking that 44mm WG are fucking SIQQQQQQQQQQQQQ and u gotta have it!!!
In conclusion:
44mm wastegates are for pussies and ricers.
LOL. Wouldn’t they realize because you are putting an rb into an e30 and are doing a pretty damn good job that you MIGHT know what the fuck you are doing when it comes to cars.
wg sizing is dependant on alot of factors including the size of the turbo, exhaust housing, the lowest boost pressure you want to run, the manifold used, wastegate placement, along with many other factors
Criticism is more like “Hey maybe you should try this color/parts combo I think it works better.” This is more I need to find some way to make myself feel smarter then you. Criticism drives progress, this kind of stuff just annoys people.
i like the vband because you and muscle it together and it will seal. try to do that on a 38mm and you’ll pull threads. although studs would be sweet if they would work for the app. on the flip side, my WG v-bands are a pain in the nutsack to unthread, so i basically treat that whole section (Pass side header, pipe, WG, and 2nd DP pipe) as one unit.
