wigenOut-S30 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Ok, Finally just about all done with my new turbo and external wastegate setup. Only thing I have left to get the car going is a fitting for the oil feed, paint my exhaust manifold, downpipe and dump tube with techline , add oil and start tuning.. This is what I came up with for the oil feed line. I took the stock distribution block and a steel -4AN fitting to a friend and had him tig them. ***UPDATE*** I just got done putting the techline coating on everything.. take a look.

mikeatrpi Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 That looks fantastic! Be sure to tell us how the tech line coating holds up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideways Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Kabump. Hows this stuff holding up? Been looking into it myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc052685 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I had a better (opinion) way to do thee oil feed on mine. I will see if I can get some pics tomorrow. Gotta find the mem card for the camera. Everything looks pretty sweet though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wigenOut-S30 Posted April 5, 2009 Author Share Posted April 5, 2009 I have about 1000 miles on everything since I put it all back together. So far so good on the heat coatings. That oil feed did NOT work.. It hit the block.. I went with a aftermarket piece that has BSP to NPT and was done with it.. Im hitting the dyno up tomorrow for a local dyno day.. we will see how she goes.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Any status updates on the WG design and the coatings Gabe? I'm curious as to the need to put an additional support on the wastegate since it's hanging so far out. Have you had any issues so far? (any roughly how many miles on it now?)

So far so good on the WG setup. The coatings do show some wear on the hottest points of where it was applied. As far as the welds and everything.. They are holding up great! I think I have around 3k or so miles on this setup and it all seems to be doing well accept the turbo which I had to send back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse OBrien Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I love that downpipe, I think I'm going to do my best to copy your design for the wastegate mounting and downpipe. Hope you don't mind, it's just what I was looking for to go off of! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
