Well if some of you know the DSM HKs manifold requires a wastegate tube from the underside of the manifold to whatever location you want the wastegate to sit.
So, since I have a welder I figured I'd place the wastegate in pretty much the only location I can on my car, beside the manifold. Im just wondering if being this close will affect any seals inside the wastegate and possibly melt them. I definitly dont need to melt any seals and make my car be down any longer than it has been.

 

i HIGHLY doubt u'll have a problem especially since sum gate flanges are actually mounted ON the manifold..u should be fine

 

yeah that's what I figured.. I just didnt know if being directly next to heat like that would affect it.

 

Mine is in the same spot, and I haven't had any problems. Your good to go.

 

it'll be ok, its designed to get hot as shit.
