gbp Member 57 Member For: 10y 11m 6d Posted 15/03/14 01:01 AM Share Posted 15/03/14 01:01 AM both turbos have the same rear housing but from what I have read the fg has a bigger different shaped hole and flapper standard? I am interested to see how an original ported ba/bf rear housing would go on a fg turbo front housing...would it even be benificial or are the fg ones better from stock???Is this fact? If I got a FG rear housing would that negate the need for the mod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbp Member 57 Member For: 10y 11m 6d Posted 15/03/14 06:36 AM Share Posted 15/03/14 06:36 AM Another question, (only because port and mod is quite expensive in NZ) will this work OK with a good wastegate?http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/performance/turbos/auction-704474352.htmWould I weld the flap closed? Will this also do away with actuator?Seems to solve alot of issues but I've not seen it before so wondering what are the drawbacks (if it will even work at all).

Its only a big problem to those who make it one.Some guys in here with 500 at the wheels with a internal gated turbo.If its done properly ie not cutting corners, internal gates work fine, and flow plenty.

Its tight as is then add 30-40mm and she will be hard against the upright. Porting the gate is easy really. I done mine with Die grinder and welded a flapper on with no issues. Went from a minimum of 17psi up top to tapering 18 down to 16psi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
