dual port wastegate?

[elitedübs]

on my hunt for a wastegate for my r/rs, i found some dual port wastegates. what is a dual port wastegate? how would you hook it up? what types of applications is it used for?

[footose]

The Dual Port configuration allows for a second air signal on the opposite side of the diaphragm; the spring side. By adjusting the air pressure with a regulator (Variable Boost Controller) either up or down (on the spring side), has an effect like changing the spring pressure. To increase the boost? The pressure is raised on the spring side and the wastegate closes. To achieve less boost? The pressure on the spring side is lowered and the wastegate opens.

A Variable Boost Controller is required to adjust the Dual Port Wastegate (or any other dual port wastegate). A Manual Boost Controller is available which enables in car control of your desired boost level. Other electronic options will be available also.

Holding 1 bar or more of boost in high gears is no problem for the Dual Port design. Not only that, you can also turn the boost down to as low as 0.5 bar when conditions require (for example, in the wet).

interesting. thanks for the input. how would one set one of these up on our cars?

purchase a regular WG
make sure the diphram is stronger then what you have
find out what the rate of it is...psi wise
get a nice EBC and be done with it!!!

i done did that yo

its just that in my travels i came across the dual port and was like, wtf? whats that for and where do you use it.....

[kilmer420]

2 45 bends=12psi
is that the actuator you have elite?

the reason I told you that you don't want the above mentioned dual port actuator is because usually they are meant for use on vehicle that only use like 7-10psi max!  The reason they are dual port is so that you have two nipples on it to connect an EBC.  ATP sells nice internal wg's call them and talk to them about what you have.  They will probably ask you for part numbers so have your part numbers ready from your WG!   You would be surprised how helpful they are!!!

i got atp's single port wg. i talked to them and thats what they said i would need.

i was just curious as to why one would need the dual port. thanks for the info, val
