Thread: Any interest in divorced wastegate O2 housing/downpipe combos?

so it just stays open like that? excuse my noob question but new to this kinda stuff

yes, it dumps to the atmosphere. its exhaust gases...

I'm leaving out of town on 9/7..... i would like to get some type of test fitment by next week.

I'm still down to get this..can't wait till there finished

Well, it's already apparent I'm gonna have to change the design slightly of the main dp. The radius is just too damn tight to weld easily. So, in future units the dp radius will have to be larger. This unit is tight, and the center bottom nut is gonna be rough to use.

It's all fully welded except for the hard to reach areas. I'm simply not gonna be able to get to them in the jig. So, I'm letting it cool, so it doesn't move. Then I'm gonna have to go slow to get each spot welded, since it's out of the jig.

Not bad though...just gonna have to go through some small phases of improvement, both to improve end quality, and also to reduce the time it takes me to make it.

Thanks for the update. Many people are watching to see if this actually goes through. Any pictures of progress??

this has probably been answered but whats the benefit of having that open like that?

Thanks Damian

The whole idea behind separating it in the first place is to avoid interrupting the flow out of the turbine. You could merge it back in at some point downstream, but it's easier to just let it dump. Sounds pretty badass too.

damian, when are you definitely shipping this out?
