why have you got an internally gated turbo then?
because thats how it came but it has been blanked off from the inside but the arm has been left so next year when i change it again for something else it can be converted back to internal wastegate so it can be sold on. anymore inconstructive comments!!!!

why did you buy the internally gated unit? blocked as in welded up? not so easy to revert this if so.
curious choice given external gate was what you want to run.

good luck with it.

sort of i did a deal with my standard turbo and another turbo which i had previously bought cheap and fitted but the manifold kept cracking so impoted this cast manifold and got this turbo to fit it. as it bolted straight on already had the external gate

why dont you just run internal gate? not 'really' needed for gt28 plus it would be easier with out, it seems

It is...its the treadstone manifold for the 1.8T.
Cost roughly 300US or so.
hi it is a treadstone cast manifold and it was $300 & postage and a bank transfer so it cost in all $400 but then thanks to the great country we live in i then had to pay inport duty of £40 so all in all it cost me about £250 but thats stil cheaper than anything else that i found and it looks proper too its all on and running now just got to get it finally mapped and then see what happens:)
