45mm external wastegate
The motivation for this project is semi experimental/show car to see what's going to happen as this combination is new. There has been hours of conversations; 100's of emails/PM's regarding the setup above and putting it together. Advice and comments are always welcomed.
Hope its entertaining and a learning experience for all of us.
