Hey all,

Recently purchased a turbo manifold from AJPS, which is a nice piece of kit indeed, but either he forgot to tell me (easy mistake, I don't blame him if that was the case), or I refused to believe when he told me, but his manifolds don't come with an external gate hole. Now I've got a KKR330 sitting here, but apparently the gates on them are sometimes a bit small, so I got a sweet Tial 38mm with .5 bar spring way back before I got the manifold.

What are my options for attaching the wastegate? Adaptors are one idea that comes to mind, but then again it might be easy enough to just drill a hole and add a piece of steam pipe or something with a Tial flange at the end. Anyone know the cost of such options?

Mind you, if you look in the For Sale section, there is an advertisement that I'd accept a trade for a sweet turbo with a good internal gate, if someone's got one going, but I don't like my chances of that happening, lol.

Thanks yall. http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/biggrin.gif

anyone handy with a tig could do it for you no worries, just dummy fit it in the car so the screamer pipe doesnt foul on anything.
