How big WG for 400 hp?


Recommended Posts

Because if the wastegate and wastegate dump route are restrictive, the unwanted gases will back up into the cylinders, robbing power and increasing EGTs.

It's not essential to use a big wastegate in low boost applications, because it's mainly at high revs it becomes a problem, but if your project can afford the space and outlay, then I'd recommend it.

You'll hold a better power and torque curve to 7000rpm with a big wastegate than you would with a small restrictive one.
