He states the car is pretty much standard, if he did have an uprated turbo, i'm sure that would have been mentioned first, i know i would.

My money is on this being a catastrophic FAIL !!

lol

let's hope he hasn't caused much damage yet, who's idea was it to put an external wastgate on there? if I was you I would stop driving the car and take it to someone who knows what they are doing.

Ironbridge, can you tell us what turbo you're running with this? Take it it's a rotated setup?
