Kaan W Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I have 2 turbosmart wastegates I'm wanting to clean up a bit before they go on the new engine and was after a bit of.advice. The top caps that come off would need a paint but whats best normal high temp, powder coat? Also the cast body itself had gone a bit brown would I be best just cleaning this and not painting? Lastly I know they have springs in but are they likely to spring open dangerously or am I fine just to undo whilst holding? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I believe they spring is pretty strong so exercise caution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could use a G clamp to remove and refit but are they quite straight forward mechanisms or will I have a hard time putting it all back together?

I really don't know - Sorry. My spring was replaced on an old one but not by me and I was told the top or spring went flying across the workshop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would be an ideal paint to use on them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
