Wastegate Location

[curts56]

Is there a preferred location/distance for a wastegate? I planned on installing a wastegate right next to the turbo on the 1-1/2" pipe that taps off the 3". But it might be less cramped if I extend the 1-1/2" and move the wastegate farther away from the turbo where it will tap into the turbo exhaust.

What size wastegate are you using?

A 35mm Turbonetics 10780 Evolution Wastegate.

It’s ok if you want to move the wastegate further away but the pipe ID should be larger than the wastegate size.

Thanks.
