GReddy Type R08 Wastegate 0.8-1.2 KG/CM2)

When you're building a high-performance turbocharged engine, controlling boost pressure is critical for both power and reliability. The GReddy Type R08 external wastegate is a key component for managing how much boost your turbocharger makes, allowing you to precisely set and maintain your desired boost levels. This wastegate is designed to work with a wide range of turbo setups, offering adjustability from 0.8 to 1.2 KG/CM2, which translates to roughly 11.6 to 17.4 PSI. Proper boost control prevents over-boosting, which can lead to engine damage, and ensures your engine is making power efficiently and safely.

This wastegate features a robust construction with a stainless steel diaphragm and a high-temperature resistant spring. The adjustable spring mechanism allows for fine-tuning your boost settings without needing to swap out springs, making it convenient for tuners. It's designed for external mounting, meaning it works in conjunction with your exhaust manifold and downpipe setup to reroute excess exhaust gas away from the turbocharger's turbine wheel when boost targets are met. This helps maintain consistent turbocharger speed and prevents the turbo from spinning too fast, which can lead to premature wear.

Installation of an external wastegate typically requires welding to your exhaust manifold or downpipe and plumbing for the boost control lines. It's a part that's best suited for custom turbo applications where precise boost management is a priority. Please note that this wastegate is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always consult with a professional tuner to ensure proper installation and calibration for your specific engine and turbo combination.
