Dave Yes it can be qite tiresome to fit a turbo system to a modern bike especially if it´s watercooled like Yours! Have You tried to mount the actuator on the opposit side to normal? On My old setup (Garrett T3) I used this, then You have to rotate the wastegate arm 180 degrees. I´m sorry but i dont know of any cheap separate wastegates, just the usuall turbocompany stuff. If You go with a separate wastegate try to get a "big" one around 35mm would do the trick I think. As You will need to wastegate a lot at high revs. There must be a separate wastegate on some car as stock equipment?! If I dont remember wrongly I think some Audi´s used one? regards / Christer Dave Morrill skrev: > Christer, > Thanks for the reply, I'm fitting the T2 turbo ($300 vs. $1500 for an > aerocharger) on a CBR600.
