Westgate Repair kits (Wastegate)

Wastegate is a bypass valve that serves to relieve excess exhaust gas pressure back into the exhaust manifold, thereby protecting the turbine from surging and overblowing. The Westgate has the form of a damper located in the turbine housing. The lever under the control of the actuator opens the flap. The device is activated under the pressure of air masses that arise as a result of increased engine speed, increasing exhaust gas pressure and high rotor speed. The task of Westgate is to divert the excess volume of air before it enters the turbine. There are two types of westgate - internal and external. The first one is mounted on the turbine housing and opens if necessary, releasing excessive pressure. Before the pressure is set, the flap is closed and triggered when it dials from 10 to 12psi. The external Wastegate is a separate mechanism that is located outside the turbine. The product is used for tuning.

When and for what are Wastegate repair kits used

High temperature and constant temperature fluctuations, negative environmental influences lead to significant wear of the Westgate system. The signs of a malfunction of the device are:

• rattling sounds of the exhaust manifold;
• negative acceleration dynamics;
• increased fuel consumption;
• the occurrence of errors in the ignition pass and low boost pressure.

To repair mechanical failures of the flap, special Wastegate repair kits are used, which include components of the mechanism. With their help, it is possible to replace parts on which cracks are noticeable, metal fatigue, loss of elasticity and wear of connecting nodes are observed.
