Great work.
Sadly mistakes happen...

Ps, CNC is most often just a time saver. And allows for more intricate 3D shapes, but for all the rest, not better than a manual at all..

Great work getting the 1/2" studs to fit .
It seems like quite an overkill given what the engine is capable of though.

Rebuild kind of done. Have to sort some small oil leaks here and there(trans reverse switch and turbo oil return) and then it's back to tuning for more boost mid-range now that I know the keg can take it.



Dry compr. test to be sure all seals are in place.

Ditched internal wgt actuator entirely, wrapped everything in heat insulating tape and covered the turbine hot side.

referring back to the past wastegate size discussion, still say a 50mm is the way to go

from the latest release of the Garrett wastegates, initial lift flow comparison between their 40/45/50mm sizes

Mine is a 44mm. Plenty big to run as little as 30kpa, plenty spring options to go up to 120kpa of boost. No changes there, just clean & inspect & refit.
