T38 with external wastegate
Hello Board,
recently bought a nice cossie in good condition. Since power is never enough, i am thinking of upgrading the turbo.
Currently the setup is like this:
- 200 block
- T3 (std. turbo)
- greens
- RS500 intercooler
- breather kit
- std. cams
The car is already pretty fast
Friends say: get a t34.63 with greys, remap and you might get 380-400 hp....but since the quest is always more power, I am thinking of getting a T38.
What I have been told, for the setup i have now, only a T38 with external wastegate would be a good choice (better spool up etc.)...
So basically my questions are:
- will a T38 with external wastegate offer good driveability given the current setup ?
- if not: what extra must/needs to be changed, to get the driveability ?
Thx !

Why the hell would you want a external wastegate on a t38 also a t38 on your set up is a bit ott mate a t34 with .48 housing will give you a nice quick spool up i have a t38 on mine with internal wastegate with siemans injectors etc etc should see around 450
The idea is to fit a turbo that can be used now...AND later on when I change more on the car...
So the question is: will it be driveable and what is the minimum that needs to be changed right now to get driveability ?...(the external wastegate should give that quicker spool up)...
