Title: Aargh ! HKS Wastegate Fitment Issue !!!!
Post by: paul3944 on September 16, 2010, 10:27:11 AM
Need Some advice on the following,

Have completed a Single Turbo conversion myself(T04r) and was hoping to have it finished this weekend :rollin

Was\'nt happy with the HKS Standard wastegate fitted, as I have read these have Boost creep problems.

Made the splurgh £££\'s on a HKS Racing Wastegate (Used) The Wastegate has a circular flange with four bolts on the bottom and wont bolt up to my HKS Cast Manifold.

After a bit of research it would appear I have got the HKS SS Racing Wastegate and not the HKS Racing Wastegate.......

Is there a adaptor or something available to marry this up or I am screwed.

Regards,
Paul

Thanks for the reply.

But that search came up with HKS SSQV adaptors or as commonly known as BOV\'s or Blow offs :Giggle

any engineering company will make you an adapter... you just want to make sure it will all fit... a rectangle flange same shape as the mani with the holes drilled and tapped then a hole in the centre and 4 holes drilled and tapped for the wastegate...
