Turbo Wastegates

[actwon]

Hey all!

I have 2 old DSM T-25 turbos left over from my Mitsu Eclipse days. I want to take the wastegate (which is stronger than the ones on the Esprit) and transplant them. These wastegates should be rated for 1bar. Any caveats?

Provided the wastegates have the same kinked shaft and appropriate length, you should be able to transplant them. You do not want the shaft to be anything other than perpendicular to the capsule, because this may cause the diaphragm to rupture.

Be careful to ensure that they are adjusted correctly (i.e the same...) because you don
