NA+T bf falcon wastegate porting question

[Dat111]

hey guys

will I need to port the rear housing if I am using a turbo side intake,flow though intercooler an plazmanside coldside piping with stock turbo back exhaust running the stock actuator ?

I also have the stock intake set up if needed.

[Tom Tucker]

Huh? Are you asking whether a different intake requires wastegate porting?

[k31th]

no, you don't need to port the turbo with just a turbo-side intake.

[JVK]

No you wont need any wastegate porting for that. But if you modify the exhaust with a hi flow cat and dump pipe system you will then.

yes I was asking if I need to port the wastegate if I am running the stock turbo back exhaust.. just not wanting any over boosting issues. using the stock 5psi actuator 

[k31th]

you'll be fine

[Dat111]

Cheers mate as I'm only running gate pressure with no boost controller 

[k31th]

you should get a boost controller, even if it's to run gate pressure but spool quicker

[Dat111]

hey keith would a manual boost controller do the same job?

[k31th]

It would, but it's harder to tune as you need to adjust the manual controller and then separately adjust the tune which some tuners hate doing that... Electronic boost control is obviously better. Most tuners enjoy the control you get from the factory boost control
