vr4 squid,i have considered modding the stock manifold as per your pic what kind of spec steel tubing would i need to use to make the take off??? or is there off the shelf items available and does it work well?i dont see why not but its not done over here in the uk
to make things clearer this is the comp housing i have(along with td05-20g cartridge and ported evo3 turbine housing),as you can see it has no actuator mounting:

i spotted this on the sellers site:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Turbo-Compre...ZAU_Car_Parts_Accessories?hash=item3ef9861dfa
which is what im trying to build(but with 20g comp wheel and tdo5 hotside for spool) seems to have some sort of custom actuator and tapped the rear of the comp cover
i have considered running an external gate from the dump pipe but am worried about clearance to the rad.
then i spotted this:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Turbo-Turbin...ZAU_Car_Parts_Accessories?hash=item3ef7b4f535
which i think should be able to use with the cartridge i have,and i could also use the t3 flanged tubular external gate manifold i already have!and have a dumpipe made up...but then i think if i'm going to this kind of trouble i might aswell fit the hks to4 hybrid turbo thats already hanging from the manifold lol
my dilema is i'm trying to push the stock evo3 engine and the hks turbo will be overkill for stock motor and cams(so want to save that for when i drop the big motor in) so thats why i decided to go with td05-20g with upgraded comphousing but now i've got an actuator dilema!! i'm so confused and frustrated as this is really holding me back from getting the car running again
anyone used this type of setup?? how did you make it work
gt pumps did used to sell a decent looking tubular external wastegate mani but its not on the site anymore any1 know what it is
i'm a bit worried about using dsm stuff due to possible rad clearance issues
am hoping you guys in the southern hemisphere could help as you guys tune alot of these early evo's in the uk theres not much been done
