IMPORTANT NOTES ON YOUR EXTERNAL EWASTEGATE 

Turbosmart accepts no responsibility whatsoever for incorrect installation of this product which is potentially hazardous and can cause serious 
engine damage or personal injury. 

 

The Straight external eWastegate is designed for use with a turbocharger that does not have an internal wastegate.  

Consult your local specialist before setting your desired boost pressure, setting boost beyond your engines capability may result in engine 
damage. 

Use only high-quality fittings ensuring maximum sealing reliability. 

It is important during the setup of the eGate, that some precautions are taken to ensure that the unit does not malfunction. Firstly, the output from 
the ECU should be limited to 15%. As well as an inline fuse (5A-10A) or breaker  to protect the eGate. Once correct operation has been verified 
the fuse and limits can be restored to a more suitable limit.  

Incorrectly wiring sensor to Chassis ground will cause calibration issues, Sensor Ground must be connected to the ECU Sensor ground. Do 
NOT connect ECU Grounds and Chassis Grounds together they must remain separate.  

Correctly setting up a sensible boost control strategy to ensure engine safety is highly recommended.  

 
RECOMMENDATIONS 

Always disconnect motor wires before removing the end cap off the actuator 

Allow for adequate cool airflow around electronic actuator paired with water cooling. 

DO NOT Mount the electronic wastegate so that the electronic actuator is less than 100mm from a heat source. 

DO NOT wrap the body of the wastegate with exhaust wrap. 

Fitting your Electronic Straight Wastegate may require fabrication or modification to your exhaust manifold. Turbosmart 
recommends that your wastegate is fitted by an appropriately qualified technician

.  

Turbosmart recommends that the engines Air/Fuel ratio is checked while setting the desired boost pressure, as any increase in 
boost pressure can cause the engine to run “LEAN”, resulting in possible engine damage. 

Turbosmart recommends that boost pressure is set using a dynamometer and not on public roads. 

Turbosmart recommends that a boost gauge be permanently fitted to the vehicle.
