hello all ive got a t34.48 its in decent nick with no play and spins freely etc... but it has two very small cracks around the wastegate penny, what problems will these cause when fitted if any problems at all, like i say they are really small but do go across the seat and slightly below it as well. i presume boost will creep through it before the wastegate opens?

cheers

 

i was once told its quite common and ok.

 

i know its common and cant see it taking much harm at lower boost levels but dunno, any one else any experience?

 

my T34 with a .48 had 3 cracks in it which made the peny not sit flat so when it was on the rollers it only made 320 BHP

 

did it feel ok to drive tho? thats all im bothered about really im not chasing numbers

 

It's rare to see one not cracked, very rarely do these cause issues, the wear in the shaft is more of a problem, not allowing the penny to sit flush and losing boost, trying it costs nothing.

it still drove OK mate it was only the rollers that spoted it / Martin at REYLAND

 

Ive heard alot do this.

 

cheers peeps, i guess ill just bolt it on and give it a try, better get a suitable chip first tho!

 

You rang jano mate? hes cheap and can sort you out with anti lag, lancu control and a setup on rollers cheap! like £250

The man with the plan i tell ye! never heard a bad word from him either

 

Msd if your in preston.
