Re: Wastegate help

38 and 40 mm just refer to size. For the boost your looking to run a 38mm should be fine. If you want low boost you need a bigger gate. (bypass more exhaust gasses) It can also depend on motor size. Chrysler 2.2l turbo?

You have dealt with turbo’s and Waste gates before, just not external WG’s right? They all do the same thing. Open a flow path around/away from, the turbine wheel to regulate the speed of the turbo, and in turn boost produced.


I should note that I don't use external waste gates so JET is probably more knowledgeable on them than I.
