so, have any of you ported your wastegates yourself?

 

I did it on my old stock 87 turbo. Were you looking for a walkthrough or...?

 

I'm thinking of doing the same. Hell, I ain't proud. Can ya walk me through it?

:P

 

what exactly will this feat accomplish?

 

To answer all your questions,

Then go to turbo turbine housing porting



The benefit of the wastegate porting would be less chance of boost creep. After doing this to mine I didnt get boost creep at ALL, but I also ported mine so large I suspect a little boost was leaking at all times.





The turbine exhaust inlet porting, in conjunction with removing the twin scroll, got me the 1psi back that I lost in the wastegate porting.



So whereas before, it would be at 5 in gears 1 and 2, then spike to 7 or almost 8 in 3-5, after the work was done it would be above 6 in gears 1-2 and close to 7 through the rest.



If I feel like it I might make my own write up on all the steps, tools needed and what not to do this
