Included are twin TiAL 38mm wastegates and GTM stainless steel TIG welded and mandrel bent waste pipes with open dumps. Recirculating wastegate dumps are also available at an additional cost.

These are made to order and will take approx. 2 weeks for delivery from time of order. We are offering these at a special introductory price of$990.00 SHIPPED! Place your order while you can get them at this price!


NEXT: GTM 3" Test pipes with Wastegate Relocation and re-circulating wastegate dumps for the 350Z/G35 GReddy Twin Turbo Systems.

How does it mount to the cast exhaust manifolds? Do I need to upgrade to APS extreme cast manifolds in order to put these?

Very nice. If these were out a year ago, it might have made the choice to go greddy tt a little harder. props to you guys for continuing to produce parts for the VQ!

You would either have to upgrade to the new version APS manifold which come with all the new APS kits, or we can modify your existing manifolds at an additional cost.

Thanks.

With external waste gates, you will have better boost response and hold boost much better all the way to redline, especially under high boost scenarios.

so you dont do that, if somebody buys these they have to take the turbos off and take them somewhere to get them sealed.

So, you don't like the idea of just welding the internal wastegate shut... Reason being?

Those housing are made of cast iron aren't they? You better know what your doing when you weld cast iron or it will develop hairline cracks around the weld.

If you send us the turbos, we can have it done for you. Unless you can have them professionally welded locally.
