FITTING YOUR GEN V WASTEGATE
Mounting your new Turbosmart Electronic Straight
Wastegate
Water cooling is highly recommended for sustained heat
exposure.
The weld flanges should be welded to your exhaust system. The
weld flanges are compatible with Stainless Steel and Mild steel
welding rod material.
The Straight Gate utilises WG60 Outlet Flanges, this allows for a
straight swap over for engines running WG60 Valves. A new
exhaust side will need to fabricated for cars running the poppet
valve.
For best results, an attempt should be made, if space allows, to
mount the Straight Gate at an angle to the exhaust flow to allow
for better flow than a 90-degree mounting. See the schematic
diagrams below for examples of mounting positions.
NOTE!
The Straight Gate can be used in both directions. Both
directions will regulate the same. It is advisable however to
place the Butterfly Valve pins exhaust side up.
Figure 4 - Best flow - Symmetric mounting
Symmetric mounting allows an excellent flow of exhaust to the
Straight Gate.
Figure 5 - Good Flow - Angle mounting
Angle mounting allows a good flow of exhaust flow to the Straight
Gate.
Figure 6 - 90 Degree mounting
90 Degree mounting gives poor exhaust flow to the Straight Gate
and in some circumstances may contribute to over boosting.
Figure 7 -
Not Recommended
- Less than 90 Degree Mounting.
An angle mounting as shown in not recommended and gives
extremely poor exhaust flow to the Straight Gate which can
contribute to poor boost control and over boosting.
CAUTION!
Do not place the Straight Gate near a significant heat source
as this could shorten the life of the internal electronics.
