Paul, after much discussion with Greg we finally agree that it may be
better/simpler to not use any wastegate (he flies MP, not throttle position
or RPM)
Looking at the turbo exhaust manifold it becomes apparent we are carrying
around many pounds of cast iron that are doing nothing and taking up space.
The amount of manifold devoted to wastegate is enormous. A manifold made from
stainless Weld-Els might be better but we feel cracking of the stainless
manifold or welds may be inevitable. Any ideas?

WWW.japperformance.com in Aus has a bullet proof turbo
manifold that can be adapted to the TO4. It is not light weight
but it don't crack according the them. If you buy ten the
shipping is cheaper and you can resell them to the list.

Sign me up for one as a back up in case my stock 91 turbo
does not hold up. Anybody else want a simple TO4 turbo manifold?

Paul Lamar

Yes I would. Couple questions though.
1.What is the price range?
2. What is the weight difference?
3. Do you think that that manifold can be rotated 180 degrees for the installation?
I am trying to keep as much away from the front as possible.
Doug

I just answered the first two questions. Yes I think it can be rotated
to move the turbo forward or back.
