External wastegate - where from?
Been having a look at external wastegates over the last few days but really seem to be struggling to find somewhere in the UK that has a comprehensive stock, reasonable prices and knows what they're talking about!
Any ideas?

Yeah, i'm going to give him a ring tomorrow - but on his website he only lists 2 and they're for pretty big power stuff - mine's only about 350bhp

Part of it is for the bling factor i admit - but part of it is because i think dump valves are gay and want more accurate control of boost etc.
It shouldn't cost more than about £300 though as i'm having a tubular manifold built - so to put flanges on etc. - shouldn't be much more!

I know the dump valve only vents the boost when you back off the throttle whereas the wastegate vents excess boost when it reaches a pre set amount...
Dump valves aren't used for boost control, wastegates are...
Unless there's something else i'm missing?

Sorry - you're absolutely right - 6 hours of driving have scrambled my brain - don't know why i thought the external wastegate was venting boost - its on the bloody exhaust manifold!
