foodfreak Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 Technical boffins please Can anyone help me to figure this out? my importer has told me that my car has a Blitz wastegate (they're not getting it confused with a BOV - it's got a sard R2D2) It's supposed to have standard Turbos, so what would be the advantage, apart from maybe reacting faster? & will it make any difference when I de-catt? the car has a Trial Exhaust I'm concerned about boost creep) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam W Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 There is nowhere to mount it on the stock twin setup unless a highly expensive custome manifold has been built (entirely pointless on stock based turbos). I think they are confused! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 Isn't there an Apex'i EGCV??? Could this be what he means? Do/Did Blitz make one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam W Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 That's just an exhaust cutout Alex, no way you could confuse that with a wastegate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
