Re: Plug on stock turbo
I think your talking about the plug in the turbine housing and it is simply spot welded in 3 places then pressed inot the housing.
you can try an extrnal setup from it but you will have to somehow press a pipe in there and weld it to the flat where the stock WG puck sits. then weld the pipe so it doesnt leak at the housing. it can be done but not easily and it prob wont look very good.

Re: Plug on stock turbo
Im just really dreading putting it on the Xover pipe. I want as little bs possible. It just seems like a really convenient location. Are you saying it wold be hard with it out of the truck or in? Why cant I weld to the outside? Or is that what you are saying?

Re: Plug on stock turbo
As mentioned porting the turbo can go a LONG ways into proper boost control.
Building custom flange, downpipe that allows you to knock out the plug goes even further.
We run a open downpipe with stock wastegate, housing ported but actually have too much control in a sense when the flapper opens it dumps too much boost at times.

Re: Plug on stock turbo
Maybe not porting it would make up for this? Im also assuming you are talking about making it kind of like a PTE looking DP right? I am very interested in this but just want to make sure that I can achieve the same thing W/O using my Extrernal WG. I paid good money for it but the more I look at putting it in the more i feel like I just dont want the cluttter or whatevehassles come along such as tuning it.

Re: Plug on stock turbo
Its still controlled by the puck. The problem in the factory setup is that it can't bleed off enough pressure in the front of the turbo (manifolds) to control boost steadily through the wasteagte passages. I imagine opening up the wastegate port all that section with flow free plus it has the old passage to use.
The free flowing exhuast overboost problems has to do with the turbo making too much boost too quickly for the restricted wastegate setup to react.

Re: Plug on stock turbo
There are pictures on my website of the downpipes I have built.
It isn't rocket science.
In the case here we ported the puck also, making it larger as well as extensive porting inside the housing. Even opening up a small amount drops boost quickly.
I had to readjust the chip tables to start with puck fully closed, and make small changes in order to work.
Several people have made downpipes for stock turbo's to remove the puck. There was a GP recently for some with some pictures even.

Like I said an hour with a die grinder and your good to go.
I have a stock housing that you could port before hand and swap in one day to keep downtime to a minimum. Or I could port it for you first.
