Nice one matey, thanks for the pics, did you take the DP out the top or pull it out from underneath? did you lift the engine up with a hoist?

Pulled the mni through underneath but u gotta remove the steering linkage first, no need to lift the engine bud...

What are you machining the wastegate to? I did our Grants to the 1.24" recommended- it won\'t go any bigger than this-BUT and I mean BUT, the port is not central to the gate its self and you have to make sure the guy machining it knows that or the turbots are ****ed! Probably better to stick to 30mm, its easier and safer. I do my own machining and I was sweating doing that!! I only ran the miller down the port about 5mm then finished blending with the porting tool.

[interloper393]

not too sure bud, i`ll get a pro to port it anyways, might even post to Carl lol..least i know it`ll be done right..what does the porting do exactly? is bigger better in this case?

[Bob Monkhouse]

You will end up with too much boost and shag the motor!!!

[John_Hudson]

not porting the WG can lead to boost spike

[Bobbit]

Sorry to hijack this thread firstly, It that a pressure regulator in the top left corner of this pic? The reason i\'m asking is that im looking for a new one for my rex (running higher boost and these help the conrtol systems.) and was wondering if you wanted to sell it?? :cheers  If you do can i ask what pressures etc it works under and waht size the connectors are? Thanks

I think its a compressor, looks like it has a red valve switch thing on it
