heres some more pics, i welded on the valve to replace the smaller wastegate flap, i gasket matched the hotside and o2 housing, and made the wastegate port a lil bit bigger..... oh and i had to take better pics of my turbo after i neverdulled it....lol....
the white line is a white out pen i figured id trace around the flap to show how much i removed around it, i couldnt fit the pen tip next to it b4 hand...i also used it as reference for the wg port....
yea i was gonna do the o2 housing some more on the outlet but thatll give me somethin to do tomarrow after work, and ya i tested the flapper it seals and holds..... i used some wd40 and filled it up, i figured yould seee where it leaks better... there is a very very very minor seapage of the wd40 so its deffinatly sealed pretty good....
damn thats a really good idea with the valve. idk why i didnt think of that. looks good. once your boosted i gotta get up there and feel what the hybrid would have been like on my car
