Garrett Turbo Distributors?

Here is a link to a thread where we discussed the UIW:

I also found this ebay auction:

They list it as only being for the Garrett GT series turbos, GT25-30, but I don't see why it wouldn't work on any turbo with the 5 bolt Ford style exhaust housing.

I'm a fan of the one I posted because it has a divided flange to keep the surge down from the wastegate to the exhaust wheel. Anyone agree?

 

This still doesn't answer my question if anyone knows any hookups for Garrett Turbos.

 

Hehe, sorry for threadja... I mean sidetracking your thread. I found this site when I was looking around for info on Garrett's internally gated GT30Rs. Looks like a pretty good deal, compared to other places. $1200+$125(I.W.)

I don't know if there any distributors who give HybridZers discounts on those, especially if you're looking for a genuine Garrett turbo.

 

Cool flange, I guess you'll be making you're own downpipe with that exhaust housing. How far down will you reintroduce the wastegate gas? I have seen them put back in anywhere from 3 inches to 3 feet down from the turbo.

With that adapter, you could make your own divorced downpipe and I've seen them where people reintroduce the wastegate exhaust 2 feet down from the turbo, some more, some less. Farther from the turbo, the gas is less turbulent and the reintroduction causes less backpressure increase. I believe this is what you were interested in. Something like this:

But of course without the external wastegate.

 

Here are a couple of threads I found about downpipes with wastegate piping and internal vs external discussions:

I would say I would agree with your approach on keeping the wastegate gases away from the turbine exducer to improve flow, that is the one thing I am concerned with on the Ultimate Internal Wastegate that Brad and I were talking about. You're choice does seem to address that issue, and I assume it would flow more without that additional turbulence.

I wonder if the size of the wastegate hole is any different.

I wonder if as an additional turbulence reducer, if having the waste gas pipe join the downpipe where the pipe sizes up by at least the area of the waste gas pipe? say a 2.5" tubo exit, and the waste pipe joins at an expansion where the downpipe goes up to 2.75", on it's way to a 3" exhaust/muffler system?

It seems like that would have a beneficial effect on exhaust flow. The turbine outlet (on this setup) is 3" though, so you'd have to step up to 3.5" or 4" to follow your line of reasoning. (3" is (30")^2 and 2" is (20")^2, so add those two and you get (50")^2, where 4" tubing is only (40")^2).

 

I would be curious to see what gains you might get from having a 3" downpipe for 2 feet and then increasing to 4" as you reintroduce the wastegate gas. Compared to 3" all the way back with WG gas reintroduction at the same 2ft point. I know 4" seems big, but I'm pretty sure over 300hp, you would notice a difference and get some gain by increasing the exhaust size.

 

And back to the original topic, check this page on Garrett's website that will give you a list of their distributors:
