Iv seen this a few times on the inter-web now, wondering how effective of a spot this is for controlling boost? Seems like a good compact option on a twin scroll setup as opposed to running two separate gates or creating some extravagant merge just for a single gate. Thoughts? Any personal experience?

That looks awesome, but I think if I tried that with a tig I'd warp the turbine and ruin a turbo, might experiment with ebay cheapos though

A load of he corvette guys have. They don't tend to have much room with low mounted kits. Not ideal but if that's all the space you have then why not? Also Many turbos have internal WG's which effectively vent from the housing.

Seen some "fast" guys do it.

I believe it's in the 4.20 range.

Yeah looks like they heat the crap out of it

forced performance sells an evo turbo set up similar but its off to the side so not a very efficient location. they warn you that its not designed to make less than 20 psi.
i have their smallest evo turbo with that housing on it (fp green 53/59), with a ebay 38mm gate and i have to ramp down my wgdc pretty aggressively as rpm goes up in order to maintain flat boost. i run about 19psi right now and have successfully run as low as ~12-14 so its really not that bad even with the bad gate angle.

I totally didn't even think about internally gated turbines, i guess the placement makes sense if most factory turbos do it that way!

Awesome thanks for the input. I dont have any intentions of doing a setup like this right now, just thought i would throw it out and see what people have to say. Thanks for the input

If that's where you need to mount it, then do so.

But bare in mind the w/g will probably have a shorter life due to the heat it will experience there.

Remote mounting will be cooler.

I had one on the turbine on the small turbo of a compound setup in my work van.

I think the real question is why does your work can have a set of compounds on it? Lol

Its a good question.... Beating up on vettes on the way to work full of tools with a ladder rack was a good reason. Swapping motors and constantly working on it to get to work the next day was not a good idea, though. I put it back to stock and eventually sold it.

That's cool as hell!!! Anymore info and pics on your set up?

The BW EFR Series turbos have the option to have the WG internally or externally integrated. Those turbos seem to be putting out to some pretty good numbers with their newer design.

Once one looks at all the neat features, that turbo design is really nice!
