*HELP* wastegate questions pulling the flat tappet motor out of my s10 going ls..im getting all hot side parts for free, t6 flange , its set up for a wastegate on each bank, the guy knows nothing about the parts. so my question is, how do i measure the port to see what size wastegates its set up for? or all waste gate ports the same size and just the valve is different sizes? its v band ports. any help is appreciated as im new to turbos.
my set up will be a 5.3 with tsp cam 224/228 .600 114 lsa w/ matching springs on 706 heads, k1 forged rods, will have my rings gapped if needed. YES im going with a cheap turbo for now, 75 mm (s475), was thinking atleast 50mm wastegates, 50mm bov i want room to turn it up. if i need to post a pic of the parts ill be getting to help yall i can

the kit has the flange welded to the piping already on both banks, my questions is how do i know what size is already on there. can i measure it with calipers to determine what wastegate it was set up for or are all the same port size coming off the exhaust
You can measure the inside/outside and give those meas to a wastegate dealer, they can tell
you what fits-diff sizes take diff flanges. If it was a kit, and you know who made it, might get the info there.

the hot side was custom built for a g35, going in my s10, and that is what ill do thanks for the advice. i figured worst come worst ill just buy two wastegates with flanges and cut the old one off, but if i dont have to i wont. thanks again fellas ready to finish this project and let her rip.
