Aftermarket Waste Gate

[chalky]

is it possible to put an aftermarket external

waste gate onto a standard rb25 turbo?

[TiTAN]

why?

the wastegate that is on the turbo to begin with is capable of doing the job.

[chalky]

why is that?

[JonnoHR31]

possible? yes. good idea? not by a long shot

[chalky]

why isnt it good?

[dori34]

possible; yes

benenfits; more noise

cons: cost money for zero gains

[mad082]

yes of course it can be done. you need a new manifold though. but as people have said, not worth it. if you were planning on going a bigger turbo down the track (and going external gate) and were getting the manifold to start with then it isn't so bad, but to do it for the pure wank factor is just stupid.

wank factor is definitely the word....

Put a [insert brand here] sticker on your door.....much cheaper!!!

If you go a bigger aftermarket turbo and manifold then you can - and will likely need to - do it.
