HI PSI Member 1,589 Member For: 19y 1m 14d Gender: Male Location: Central Queensland Posted 03/01/09 02:55 AM Share Posted 03/01/09 02:55 AM I have weighed up the Pro's and Con's of the external and internal wastegate mods. II have decided to get my internal wastegate modded as I cannot justify the extra cost just yet. I may still go down the external path at a later date as I have purchased a spare housing. Mailny so that the car will be off the road for a minimal amount of time.I did a search and found no information on who actually does these modifications or the costs involved? Who have you used?? How much did it cost? What was the turnaround time?Thanks in advance...Cheers Brad Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/53009-internal-wastegate-porting-and-flapper-mod/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decided 2 go the external gate after lots of thinkin because its the ultimate and will get the most from the stock turb. why bother with a bored out 38mm port when u can go external and any size u like ? u will end up payin more 4 the internal gate mods off nizpro than u will for an external gate mod off etm anyway .... not that nizpro is not worth it.

I am not really concerned about getting it extrude honed. I am really just wanting it bored and the bigger flapper fitted. Who does the mods. Can you suggest anyone?
