The guy that has been recommended to me has told me what to do before Itake it to him, ive already done some mods (fmic , highflow cat, atomic valve springs, plugs and coils) and he is saying to put 1000cc injectors, mod the wastegate flap?? and fit a 12pound actuator spring before I take it for a tune. I can find the flaps for sale but have not found any info on how to go about modding the flap, I was wondering if anyone can shed light on this or point me in the right directionany help would be welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(wastegate port & flapper mod)Also hope you aren't driving the car around with the mods you've already done.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I know is if its done sh*t, then it wont control boost properly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaz097 Bronze Donating Members 1,751 Member For: 13y 2m Posted 23/09/15 11:08 PM Share Posted 23/09/15 11:08 PM It can be done with a little know how and also depends on how much boost you want to run. I ported my own gate with a die grinder but was running towards 18psi so the porting is less critical.If your trying to target 12 it may require a little more flow design.

Note the little flat at the top of the standard port. Sent from my HTC_0PJA10 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
