What brands / models supply straight path external wastegates? i.e. not the std 90degree path... Any links for prices? Cheers.

What exactly do you mean by straight path?

i thought they all had a bend on them.. i know tial 44mm does.

well most external wastegates take a 90degree path, i understand there is probably a good reason for this, it likely holds boost much better. by straight path i'm after an external gate that has no kink in the air-flow, just a flap (like the throttle body) that swings open/closed... is there something out there like this?

have never seen one, where did u hear/see his?

exactly my problem, i have not seen one either.

chasing something along these lines to install PRE-turbo(!) to replace the secondary turbo exhaust valve actuator (which is a restrictive design). i dont want one with a 90degree bend because it would be worse than the current set up...

what sorta size is that going to be? 38mm is probably going to be about right.
