JamieP Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Nice one Ash, looking forward to that ride with the new setup, you may convert me back to a large tubby;) Ive not seen a setup like that before with twin wastegates on a single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Good going Ash I'm guessing by the night-time shot of the engine bay, that your lad is still hogging the garage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Class One Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 See? You should have let me give it a run yesterday for old times sake. Look forward to seeing the new set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Good luck with this Ash and nice to meet you on Saturday. Your car sounded ace on the way to pod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Sorry if I've not kept up but what did you have on there before Ash? Whats the benefit of twin wastesgates? None I'd imagine, if anything it's going to make boost control tricky - any tiny imbalance on the wastegate (they are not exactly carefully matched things) and the pulse differences I would think make it difficult to properly control boost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdDaMan Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 looks quality...iv never seen 2 wastegates on a single either....as asked before what gains are there? (apart from the sound! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 The only real reason for two wastegates would be increased flow to stop boost creep when using large turbos, as already mentioned a single large wastegate would be much easier to manage. You could use a simple open closed solenoid with two wastegates to give you switchable boost pressure using two different springs but with most modern boost controllers and ECUs its not really worth it.

cleland Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Its the toyota ecu with a tectom board in, it was big in japan but the sofware was a fortune. Andy at AMT has it, it runs sweet as a nut fueling was spot on. It runs closed low down which is smooth then swaps to map, on boost no splutter, miss or anything.
