EJ20R Single Turbo EWG issues

[boxerbob]

got a ej20R i bought, switching it over to a medium sized turbo with 3in inlet, EWG. so i'm doing all the piping myself. not much space to put the EWG down by the pipes so my only real option to keep it over there is to bring it above the turbo. But i had this idea. instead of blocking off the old primary turbo manifold on drivers side i could run the wastegate out of it. would that function right possibly?

I'm not going to say what you are making won't work, but, at least in my case, there are a whole lot of guys smarter than I am figuring out pipe sizes, and exhaust gas velocities, for me to want to stray too far from what is working out there.

 

If you are going from a 2 turbo set-up give a big look at the single turbo set-ups on Subaru cars, maybe buying everything you need for the thing to work right out of a junkyard. I personally had good power results with an aftermarket cross over pipe and up pipe. I'm not sure a wastegate so remote from the scene of the crime (the turbo) is a good idea.

 

I see aftermarket removed wastegates, and they are all close to the turbo inlet.
