Wastegate

Wastegate or exhaust gas bypass valve has the task of controlling the boost pressure in the engine. Without this inconspicuous element, the turbine, as a result of increasing engine speed and the production of more exhaust gases, would spin faster and faster, to the point of self-destruction and, as a result, damage to the entire drive unit. And this is, after all, what we want to avoid. That's why the external wastegate is an extremely important component of almost any turbo system, it works under extremely harsh conditions - constant contact with temperatures close to 1000'C exposes it to warping and seizing of the piston.

Wastegate external turbo exhaust gas pressure bypass valve - what brand to choose: Tial, Turbosmart, FMIC?

Controlling the boost pressure is possible with the help of a device called a wastegate, its opening causes some of the exhaust gases to be vented from the exhaust system, so that they do not reach the turbine exhaust wheel rotor.

In our offer, you will find wastegates of high performance from manufacturers such as FMIC.PL, Turbosmart or Tial with different piston diameters and an assortment for adjustment, i.e. springs of different hardness, specified in boost bar, which tilt the piston at the appropriate pressure.

Our WG is characterized by extremely high durability, ensuring trouble-free operation so it can be used in powerful cars with turbochargers without built-in Wastegate.

External wastegate valve - symptoms of damage

The main problem that wastegates have to face is very high temperature and carbon build-up from the exhaust gas. Only a proven and perfectly manufactured product can cope with working in such adverse conditions. It is not worth betting on a WG of unknown origin, which can lead to the failure of the turbocharger or even the engine, causing considerable problems and costs. Even the highest quality product can fail, so any symptoms of failure should be carefully checked and, if necessary, repaired.

What are the symptoms of Wastegate failure?

What effects can a wastegate malfunction cause? First of all, there are problems with the smooth generation of turbocharging this translates into a decrease in the power of the car's engine. Due to the fact that the ECU constantly monitors the boost pressure, the symptoms of malfunction may also be the "check engine" light.
