I love when Rob uploads I learn so much!

🤣🤣🤣 bro u read my mind!!
Now Turbosmart released the Boostgate 50 where it controls boost on the cold side and I just bought the straight gate 50. I may return it and switch. No need to modify the turbine housing to accept the heavier straight gate. This makes changing turbine housing sizes so much easier. Now the air flow isn’t interrupted at all trying to get the right angle of that schedule 10 pipe. The Boostgate 50 is placed inline with the cold side charge pipe.
Lets just say Rob is well aware of that product and it's functionality. ;-)
Have you tried the new Turbosmart Boostgate to control boost on the cold side which can have the turbo spool like a supercharger, intsa boost? I’ll still be running a traditional pnuematic external wastegate on the hot side as a safety from over spinning the turbo. Will also use their blackbox and their TS-6466 on a built fk8 Type R running on Motec, port injection.
Any tutorial on how to tune with it .
Reliability?
i think the only fear i have is the price :
As soon as I enough of them hit the market used Ill buy. I cant afford 2X $1000, thats another turbo.
You mean open ? 1:08
Ahhh spouse depends where u put the gate intake or exhaust ?
Sounds wonderful but unnecessary for like 99% of applications.
We know that these E-Gates are not for every application but there is a need for this level of boost control in motorsports. This video is for the 1% that want more information.
i'd actually tend to disagree. it simplifies the process and eliminates failure points similar to how a DBW system is in many ways better than a physical cable.
@@simmosideways I don't think you know what the word better means.
Yeah I've been interested in the since Mercury came out with their SB9 the twin turbo big block. They eliminated lag when they combined an electronic waste gate with DBW to eliminate turbo lag. I don't know how it compares to C02 solinoids though and what the down stream costs are of ECU upgrades and tuning. The tech could go way further to help with tuning though. Saw a guy used AI using a Raspberry Pi. Cosworth doesn't make you buy proprietary sensors and has pretty trick software but a high learning curve. AEM let's you use the original wiring loom. Mega squirt and autosoort labs have some cool stuff and the motech builder series is a great concept but race team expense. Trick drag stuff uses the big stuff 3. Holley is super simple for non tech people. The amount of research for everything is next level for project planning. Car builders need a new a social platform for project design. The forge was really cool but part selection alone is a nightmare.
