20G with crazy manifold/WG/02

[NCFWDDSM]

I purchased a rebuilt OEM 20g. It had the internal wastegate removed so went to my local DSM junkyard and found this manifold, 02 and WG. Im not sure if this is usable as it goes from 2 bolt to 4 bolt on the wg. Any ideas on how to make this work?

Thanks,
Alex

This reminds me of something...

Can't find the original meme I had, but you get the idea.

Basically someone hacked that together, which may explain why the car was at the junkyard.

It looks like they "welded" the 2 bolt to the 4 bolt flange, as well as some other hacking for the recirc tube. Honestly, I'd scrap it. With alot of efffort and some time/tools you could probably make it work... Or just search the classifieds for a new manifold/wg setup, or see if a freelancer/ local lwelder could help you sort what you have already. Money would be better spent for a proper setup imho.

@JusMX141 may have some parts, or maybe @Archer Fabrications @bastarddsm might be able to help you out.

Throw away everything but the turbo and start over with a ported stock 2G manifold and an o2 housing-mounted gate or a cast manifold with the wastegate provision if the turbo currently has the wastegate welded.

OP that's some nice weld porn.

That is making my eyes bleed. Look at those welds, laying some dimes . Scrap that thing and do it right. I wouldn't trust that to work properly.

 

[brian9397gsx]

Its easily fixable but at the end of the day it's all knock off junk.

Well im on a budget. I cant afford those hot parts. I listed the 20g with everything else on ebay. I will have to get an internally gated turbo. 16g should do for now. Just trying to get my 99 gst running so I can sell it.

I have 95 talon tsi (running great, 400-425hp) and a 99gst with a fresh 6 bolt (not quite done but close) Will be selling both.

I had one of those obx manifolds years ago with my hx40 bolted to it. It held up fine but leaked on the head flange and the nuts behind the middle runners were a bi*** to get on. As stated I would just get a stock 2g manifold.
