Pablo New Member 6 Member For: 2y 8m 6d Posted 30/01/22 09:18 AM Share Posted 30/01/22 09:18 AM Hey everyone This is my first post, I’m new to turbos and everything that goes with them. I just bought a territory turbo ghia and wanted to do some work to it(valve springs, injectors, high flow cat, front mount later down the track) I was just wondering what waste gate would be best with the stock turbo. Or do they already have one and just buy a actuator or vice versa. sorry if this is a dumb question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 28,840 Member For: 16y 5m 27d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 30/01/22 09:27 AM Share Posted 30/01/22 09:27 AM It has an internal wastegate that'll support your choice in mods. You just buy an actuator if you want a higher minimum boost. Realistically depends on your boost goal if you even need to upgrade it over the stock one, but your tuner will probably thank you for upgrading it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbosmart 12psi actuator is ok too but the porting and preload needs to be spot on to get decent boost control. You'll need a set of injectors first and preferably a fuel pump upgrade before upgrading the actuator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plumbs7 New Member 3 Member For: 3y 9m 23d Posted 04/02/22 09:52 AM Share Posted 04/02/22 09:52 AM The stock actuator is 7 psi I believe. I had one on my F6 310 and was netting 16 psi with the stock cams and then when I went to crow stage 3 forced could only get 14 psi . So I upgraded to turbo smart 12 psi which very well , saw 530 rwhp on 98 on the stock gt3582. Then upgraded to a gen 2 pulser gt3584 with a 15 psi gate . So turbo smart came off as it didn’t fit . So I took out the 5 psi spring of the turbo smart and left the 7 pound spring in and installed on my wife’s turbo TT. Which for a Daily Driver works well ! I can run on E 10 on gate and up to 10 psi ( 94 oct ) . Runs a little leaner but I have tuned for it via pcm tec. Max boost for and puffwagon will laugh at this lol! But I tuned it to 14 psi on 80 % duty cycle . So 16 psi would be possible. The btr box with the stock tune wasn’t loving life at all with 400 plus rwhp going through it ! So yeah running 9 -10 psi e 10 with 11 deg max timing. so 7 psi is good for a general st car . Depends what u want ? Puffwagon has demonstrated what is possible with a TT !!
