[QUOTE="Ipkyss, post: 110040, member: 1737"] after having issues with the wastegate on my truck. I have been sitting here trying to figure out ways to relieve the BP yet not make a reliability issue at the same time. I can only imagine being 1500 miles from home with the wastegate stuck open... What I was thinking about doing is. Remove the wastegate and make an elbow that replaces it. Then at one end of the elbow, have a plate that can be put in. This plate would have a hole in it to let exhaust through. The size of the hole would take some trial and error to figure out. Start with maybe a 3/8 hole and see what it does. Go up or down in size from there. Now I understand it might spool slightly slower from the lose of pressure, but I don't think it would be bad. It would be 100% reliable. And accomplish the goal of lowering bp. Now is this a totally stupid idea that is just a waste of time to even try? Or is it worth a shot? [/QUOTE]
