External Wastegate in GQ
External Wastegate in GQ
Hey all, tried searching but couldnt find any help.
Im about to turbo my td42 with parts ive slowly collected, i have a turbo from another project that isnt getting used but it doesnt have an internal wastegate. Is anyone running external wastgates, if so could you please tell me how you plumbed it into your manifold??

gudday.
how much boost?
ignore the blue hose from inlet manifold to gate as you'll want to install a 'in cab' boost dial in that circuit.
the 'branch off' must face away from direction of exhaust gas flow as much as poss...my angle was a bit flat but I was restricted by suspension tower....you get the idea though.
good luck

GQ with 30 PSI of TD42T.........
have never been interested in dynoing the trucks, as i reckon money is better spent else where. but have based this engine on 200RWKW @ 30psi+....and no cash short cuts.
it goes like a cut cat...still got a few tweaks to make to get some more reliable horsies out.
good luck with project

External wastegate is seperate to the turbo and mounted to the manifold before the turbo as shown in the pics. Internal wastegate is incorporated into the exhaust housing on the turbo. Most factory turbos run an internal gate while an external gate is generally used on bigger setups chasing more power.
