Ex Gate...rb25Det

[dayofthedead]

Now guys I have 2 queries about ex gate on exhaust manifold..

First one is, I've been seeing and told that ezine gate is highly recommended to be welded onto rear housing of turbo and or right near the t3 flange..!!!

Second is obviously a 6boost manifold as the gate is already on the mani...

Does or anyone know if they both sound the same and if one is correct or wrong idea...

Thanks...

Sound the same, it's a proper external gate.

Neither is correct, neither is wrong. It just depends on 3 factors really - space, cost, heat.

Simple as that really.

Thanks mate... will try on the rear housing...

Hope it sounds epic for you mate!

Girls go weak at the knees for some gate

You should see what they do for twin gates

[dayofthedead]

Twin scroll twin gates mmmmm...

But I've herd good and bad having gate on ya rear housing??

Has anyone herd any bad things about it??

[R31Nismoid]

Only bad if the person doing the work, does not know what they are doing and farks it up.

My post still stands dude, whatever you have "heard", forget it.

I dont like the look of it, and if you want to change turbos or housings later it sucks.

But I do like the boost curve from a housing/gate combo. You can nearly always put a ruler on it and it will be pretty close!

Thanks

I had a td05 with gate welded on rear and never had any troubles,that said I'm now running a td06 on a modded stock mani with gate and no dramas there either..choice is yours and yes I've heard good and bad stories aswell but that didn't stop me doing it Just make sure it's a good job and don't skimp.If you have the cash a 6boost mani will yield more power top end tho.

[dayofthedead]

Yehhh that's the hole reason for me to do this on the rear housing...

As I can't affords a 6boost mani cause I have other shit to buy first...

This option still allows me to run stock mani and all the same pipe work....

Thanks for the imput...

I went for on the exhaust housing - yes if I wanted to change housing more of a pain but if a stud breaks or the manifold has to come off that can be a pain too so both have advantages and disadvantages.

interms of sound, no difference as others have said.

these should help give you an idea of how to mount off the housing correctly.

nice work with the diagrams

[dayofthedead]

Thanks man...that was a big help...but that's off manifold... looks like just before flange... ???

[scotty nm35]

It is the same principle off the housing though. You want the gate to flow as well as possible, even better than the flow into the turbo if possible.
