Paul Laing Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Been reading about these External wastegates, my mate has one on his Pulsar GTI-R and it sounds amazing! How hard are these to fit on supras? Is it hard to take out the internal one? Iv'e seen a few for sale in performance mags for £300, is that reasonable? Also, is it only Blitz, HKS, Greddy Bovs you can put on your Supra? Or will Bailey ones fit? Just wondering, i'm after a Blitz one on mine but my mate has 'apparently' the loudest Bov available from Bailey on his GTI-R Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam W Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Any BOV will fit. There is another thread running about external WG on stock turbos, I posted in it this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 I thought Turbosmart were supposed to be the loudest DV's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Do you mean wastegate or air blow off valve? 2 entirely different things. Forget an external wastegate on the twin sequential set up, not feasible. The stock BOV works just fine, but doesn't sound loud. Plenty of people have tried various BOV's on here, they will advise what makes the most noise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Laing Posted October 15, 2003 Author Share Posted October 15, 2003 Cheers chris, give me a shout when you get more SMIC's in, might be tempted......Also is it worth replacing the Diff cooler? Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was and the fins fell off when I touched it so, it cost ~100-150ish for Toyota to replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Laing Posted October 15, 2003 Author Share Posted October 15, 2003 no nothing like that, i havn't really checked it but for £100 it might be worth changing it incase it's not working as good as it could. Same as my SMIC. It's 9 year old now so maybe i should change them both..... Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
