Non Turbo exhaust

[Sparkplug90]

Please help

The blow off valve goes on the intercooler, not the exhaust system, and a turbo manifold is completely different from a non turbo one, so when you turbo your car you will have to buy another one, if I remember correctly there is nobody that makes any kind of adapters to use the same manifold. Its either one or the other.

I understandthat both the turbo header and the non turbo header are differnt..i can see taht..waht im asking is when i put the nonturbo exhaust manafold on my car, where do i add the blow off vaulve since normaly it is attached to the manfold. The reason i am asking is becasue i dont see anywhere where there is a nonturbo exhaust system with a blowoff vaulve attached to it

Becasue i was always under the impretion that the blowoff valve/Waste gate were the samwe thing..but now i see tehy are different.

Please put more than 5 seconds of thought into typing out your posts. Grammar and punctuation are key to being taken seriously and not giving the rest of us migraines.

You have no need for a blow off valve, which would be located on the intake side of the engine. It is for evacuating the charge pipes when you close the throttle.

Nor do you need a wastegate, which allows exhaust gas exiting the engine to by-pass the turbine wheel in order to limit boost pressure.

If you will be turbocharging your NA car in the future, save your money on a worthless NA header and put it towards your turbo build.

As in: if you insist on buying a manifold and a wastegate, but them to fit whatever turbo you plan on using.
