Since photobucket bogarted all of our links, I figured I'd post some pics of the most recent ATP ultimate wastegate. I purchased the mild steel variant, $168, and I think I'll be happy with it once I'm making boost. Also purchased the 8mm 1.25 studs ATP sells because I'm lazy.
Here we go:
Compared to volvo 48 flapper,
Clumsy trace of the flapper footprint, looks like porting is also gonna happen.
Post casting clean up so flapper doesn't catch, could have done more at the top of excursion, doubt it will catch though.
And now, my favorite:
WTF ATP? Even with a shorter stud, what sort of nut will fit there? Forget flanged copper lock nuts on two other studs, but unflanged nuts fit fine in those places.
Les sighs...
