What I would like to know is what should the housing be ported out too (How Many Millimetres)CheersConrad Lovett Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/72539-turbo-waste-gate-flapper-mod/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get the best out of the unit you need too smooth the wastgate hole and do a little finessing to direct the gases correctlyI'd suggest if possible you get Simon from XFT too open it up for you. He has some little tricks that help too prevent the dreaded boost spike.

Once again thanks for your help.Conrad Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/72539-turbo-waste-gate-flapper-mod/#findComment-1069556 Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should give you a pretty good idea of the areas that need blending/smoothing.

I purchased a new flapper and bush together.. As my bush broke when I tried to remove it...From memory it was around $120 for both... See Ratter here on the forums. He can supply them at a better price.. Quote If only some one would sell me a housing to do the mod on. I'm sure something will come up.Good housings are VERY hard to find.. As they all crack where the turbo bolts together... Upon close inspection my original housing was shagged also..... It is now used as a door stop...... I wish you luck with your search...

I rang MTQ in Perth and spoke to Tristan in the turbo parts, just google search them and your set.Conrad Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/72539-turbo-waste-gate-flapper-mod/#findComment-1069732 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have another housing that I will port and do the flapper mod to, within the next 2 weeks, if anyone is interested PM me for price.CheersConrad Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/72539-turbo-waste-gate-flapper-mod/#findComment-1074913 Share on other sites More sharing options...
