Forgive me i'm still pretty new to DSM's,

Where are the turbo's mounted on 1G's? I went to look at a GSX recently and it looked wierd. The turbo wasnt where I thought it would be.

Last dumb question and I should be covered. What does a wastegate do?

Thanks
 
The turbo on a 1g is mounted in the same exact spot as a 2g. They have the same motor (for the most part). A wastegate lets a predetermined amount of exhaust gas bypass the turbo (turbine) so it doesn't make more than the desired amount of boost.

"The exact same spot as a 2g" would be referring to the right side of the engine, which is the front, right between the radiator and the engine, it's attached to the bottom of the manifold. The turbo is usually covered mostly with a heat shield. Hope that helps! :)
 
When you say "attached to the manifold" do you mean intake or ehaust?

thanks
 
juss look at your airfilter and follow the lil rubber hose/pipe until u run into this circular thingy (which is your turbo). Or juss follow your exhaust manitfold until it runs into this other lil exhaust lookin piece (which is the exhaust side of your turbo) and it'll be connected to a more silverish piece(which is the compressor side of your turbo). Hope that helped a lil.
