Tial Wastegate Issues

[Mushroom]

Hey Guys,

I have an older Tial wastegate and I am trying to find the gasget that goes between it and the manifold. Now I have been told it should have a raised beveled edge on it to help seal it but have been unable to find one can anyone help??? A workshop has been looking but so far have been unsuccesful at locating one and can only offer purchasing a new one.

As the wastegate works fine and I really don't want to have to buy a new wastegate if I don't have to.

Cheers

were you after that metal ring that goes into the end of wastegate or and actual gasket? if its the gasket im thinking of you can buy them from autobarn. turbosmart make 38mm sized ones, not sure bout other sizes tho.

well it bolts on to the manifold which is flat and has 4 bolt holes, so I am thinking there is suppose to be a gasget that stis between them and has a raised beveled edge to help seal it . I will take some photos later this week to expalin more if it helps

does the wastegate have the seat area machined out ???

as you can see the samll ring that inserts into the flange area between the gate and the manifold .. is this the bit you are missing?

try to speak with tial USA and see if can get that part seperate from them. as that ring seals the valve to the sides so it doesnt leak

[Mushroom]

yes thats the kind of seal I am talking about, I don't want to use goo as I dont want it to upset the operation of the unit and also want a proper seal.

[Craved]

yeah, no chance of goo working there

either have a replacement machined up on a lathe

OR

buy a new one from tial USA - or try Slide as he got my tial from japan and might be able to get the individual part
