Thread: T28 internal gated to external gated questions

My t28 is currently internal gated, but I would think i would benefit better off a external setup. I have the manifold already for a tial wastegate 15psi.
So my question is how do i weld the turbo correctly?
Thanks for the help.

Don't weld the turbo at all please...... You can make a brace to hold the flap shut or tac weld the flap to keep it closed. Don't weld it all the way it effects resale.

I always NPT tap the internal hole and use a pipe plug.

I just tack welded the little flappy thing that's on the side of the turbo once the wastegate actuator is removed.

Thanks guys.

Reason for external gated?

My mbc keeps going out and I had this mvs 38mm tial sitting for a year so I used it but I have to get the turbo rebuilt lol I'll post the video don't sound bad rev to 6k to get it to smoke. Seals are gone on my t28.
