az240z Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 I am going to look at a 1980 280zx 2 seater that has had a turbo swap from an 83. However the owner says the waste gate is hitting the steering. If so what would be the best fix? Find a non powered rack and pinion or move the waste gate? Which would be the least expensive? Thanks az240z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadianz Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 If it is an external waste gate, it should be easy to cut and reweld the flange back onto your exhaust manifold in a manner in which is doesn't hit. Basically the wastegate is just a big metal dump valve on your turbo manifold, so there is no harm in re routing it a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
