How To Install Turbo Wastegate

[@AOGDC10]

The full-time shops and the pro KZbin channels that knock out the projects fast are not "real". The magic of editing and the many hands behind the scenes make it look like easy. You keep it real and honest. Priorities change all the time and projects have to go on the back burner. 30mins in the morning or evening keep the fires lit and the ball rolling. Eventually you finish "eating the elephant" one bite at a time. Kudos to you for taking care of your own priorities and still keeping the projects moving forward. Most projects don't even get finished. That won't happen to you.

[@limitlessbuilds]

Another option is using some pvc to do your mock-up. Nice and cheap and allows you to setup the notcher perfectly ahead of time

[@getahanddown]

limitliss Can confirm. I use PVC as templates and it's easy to handle

[@frankm8533]

I don't care how long it takes to build, it's a piece of art! I just want to hear it start up the first time..

[@vinnythebad1548]

Man, i'm in the same boat as you except the KZbin thing. Thanks for reiterating the fact there are no excuses for not getting things done. "Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem. We all have twenty-four hour days." - Zig Ziglar

[@MattsGarage]

I’m right there with you. Couple of kids, real job, late nights. The project is the passion but not the priority and my channel is just for fun. I often say that if I were a trust fund baby, I’d finish the Scout in two weeks. I’ve been following you an long time and you have definitely earned your fan base. Your attention to detail is heroic. Keep it up.

[@Thefabforums]

thanks man

[@rugwalle]

I also try balancing work, kids and car stuff. New exhaust I thought would take a week is up to 3 weeks now... Every build video you put out motivates me to go out in the garage a few more hours even though I'm tired as hell

[@Thefabforums]

glad I could help 😉

[@thestig560]

Good to see you got your priorities straight 👍

[@-MacCat-]

Kudos to you, in spades, for juggling all those balls - family, work AND building fun cars etc. - and not dropping any! 👍 The longer you take to build that very delightful machine the longer you keep us entertained and the more we learn, so you just take your sweet time. 🙂

[@glennramsey917]

It took me about 10 years to get my foxbody to where I want it .. ppl ask me why did it take so long … I say first off I’m leaving no stones unturned before I bring it out .. 2nd my priority is my kid and my Child support .3rd I paid off my house in those 10 years .. now I’m wrapping it up … just got done putting my exhaust on while watching your video in the garage .. most of all I don’t owe a dime on any part I have bought for the car !!! When I bring it IM BRINGING IT !!!!

[@davidzimmer2694]

Perfect. It's amazing when you build a car how centers and perpendiculars and parallels creep into your plans. I hate it but it's what keeps the creativity moving instead of stale and uninteresting. This build is beyond interesting...it's captivating.

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

All sorts of truth in the last minute of the video! Really enjoy seeing the project come together-so clean and carefully done. Makes it all the more impressive considering the other elements of “real life” are involved!

[@MikeVieira]

Man! I really appreciate you sharing your shop life with us! It's a ton of work with the editing, family, work life balancing! I also like the vlogging type stuff you do! It's great seeing the family bits too!

[@boddtraga3166]

Always a good day when I get that new video notification! Keep up the badass work man!

Looks great brother!! Super slick and dont worry about comments from keyboard commandos lol.. your doing a QUAILTY job on these builds and I for one appriecate the fact that your paitent and fab this stuff up correcty..iam a fabricator/welder in wisconsin and i understand that time and dedication involved in building and welding things from scratch. Thanks for the content dude and i look up to you in many ways..

Man I don't care how long it takes you to build the Bibbster, I've enjoyed the journey watching your creative process on it. Plus it just means more weekly content!

[@lpssamanthayt8361]

I know fabricating takes a long time specially from scratch I think it’s just such a cool project that people are just getting impatient like me we just want to see it finished curious to see the Finish project you’re one of the best fabricators I ever seen

[@mordantly]

I always like when I can check something off the projects' lists.. slow and steady I'm chewing on them. Cheers!

Oh yeah. One restoration started almost 11 years ago... time flies sometimes.

awesome, glad I could help in some way. appreciate you watching

[@ragenronegan2624]

I've always wondered what it is that yo do for a day job. I've been a tech for 30+ years and I see some of your work and the things you know how to do, and think this dude isn't just some average guy. You do things that most people wouldnt know and do them very well. Hell even I have learned some cool stuff from you. Thanks Ron

[@Thefabforums]

Thanks

[@HaydanTitus]

Love seeing the mechanical fab but I can't wait to see how you decide to tackle the design of the rear body panels. Going to be badass!

[@Thefabforums]

yeah that should be the next project

[@MrPlainuser]

Good stuff man. Thank you for showing me this. I was trying to figure out how to do these on a cheap turbo log.

[@fattback3780]

Great channel always pick up something new to help with my C10 build. Thanks👊🏻

[@TheMick26]

Oh yeah, more of the Bibbster.👊 The placement and fitment of those wastegates looks so good, Kyle. To this point, I haven't built my own turbo setup, but I have studied it quite a bit. Some people put their wastegates at weird angles that aren't conducive to flow and I can't see how they work properly half the time. IMO, the way you have yours positioned is pretty much ideal. As for your balancing act, we only know what you show us, and that's probably only the tip of the iceberg. From what I can see, it looks like you're doing a hell of a job, especially considering all the big things you have going on in your life right now. No complaints here, brother. Like most of the Fab fans, I totally get it.👍😎 Looking forward to seeing the Gray Goose again in the near future. Keep diggin' and we'll see you soon.

[@zip-tieracing4307]

Yo brother take your time forget what these people say . I have been watching you for over a year and waiting to see the bib-ster . You cant rush perfection stay cool stay chill and take your time

[@jakeofallterrains9048]

It's about the journey... I always appreciate the fab tips and tricks along the way. Keep up the good work and don't worry about the haters. ✊

[@dlux703]

Nice quality work as always. I like the idea of the slant back grill shell, cause it could give you one of the prime elements of putting a "face" on the car. I can almost picture a '29 track roadster type oval or even Bugatti shape, but with some other kind of inner grid rather than vertical bars. Maybe you could English wheel a perforated sheet to fit in a frame and have a convex bulge. It could be the nose to go with your headlight eyes. PS; You never have to justify or apologize for how you prioritize your time and energy. We would all love to see more of your content, but it's YOUR life to enjoy as you see fit.

[@raydouglas708]

You are an inspiration to all !! Keep it up . We love the videos over here in Australia .

[@charlesfields7908]

Dude dont even worry about the haters. You finish bibbster when you finish. 3 things to never mix the order up of. 1)family 2) full time job 3) play time with your projects. So far you seem be doing a damn good job of balancing it all so kudos 👍.....fyi you technically working 2 jobs 1) the day job 2) the dad job taking care of 4 kids and the honey do list is a job on its own. Good job dude keep it up look forward to seeing whats next for the bibbster. 👍

[@garyparker2969]

It DON'T MATTER How Long it Takes For ANY of Your Projects Kyle, KUTAW n God Bless All.

[@vintagespeed]

she's looking good man! i think the grill shell is a great idea, make a frenched inlet on one side and exhaust outlet on the other side and the wastegate dumps below the frenched inlet & outlet. i think that would look pretty sweet. keep it up man!

[@emack347]

Yo I totally get the time it took me 5 years to get to the point of even going to the track to make test hits so hats off to you brother keep on the grind like we all do 💯 👊

[@jameannohere]

Could prob get a hole saw in there being that the tube is so short. Maybe put an extension and socket on the end of the arbor if you got one that's a hex, that is if the far end is too far. Use the tubing as a "pilot" instead of a drill bit. Cut a close to perfect hole for yourself. And as car builder myself, take your time man. Getting things done right takes a while. Looking forward to some content on this build.

[@Thefabforums]

i will have to give it a try

[@JavieBuilt]

Flow of the exhaust and wastegates might give you issues with controlling boost. Awesome fab tho!!👌

Good echo now from waste gate location. Thinking about running audio into oscilloscope I happen to be using right now to see if it reveals how far away the offending surface is located, for curiosity's sake. Check out Draco's owner and previous pilot. He hardly requires any sleep for some very fortunate reason. Peace.

[@poweredbyestrogen1166]

I was just explaining to someone a week ago who was complaining about how he just wants for KZbinr creators to just upload their project video's when the project is done. Because he hates it when people "milk" their projects, by taking years to finish and just updating with progress videos. They didn't seem to understand that actual fabrication work, or restoring a car from the ground up takes TIME!! skill, equipment, experience. Hell my own restore build have taken me about six years of weekend work. It's always people who have never picked up a wrench before that talk the most junk. Rome wasn't build overnight, and neither are project builds. There is a difference between a TV show with unlimited $$$$$ and labour vs the real world.

[@BasinMotorsports]

Amen to that. TV shows take clips from a year's worth of footage for a 60-minute show.

Anyone that complains about your production speed has never built anything or works on their stuff full time. You get more done now than I did when I was single with no kids. Chasing skirts was pretty time consuming, but it wasn’t all day every day like kids and a wife. Of course I might have gotten a lot more done if I had all of the fab tools that you have, but I pissed away too much fun money on women and booze. If I only knew then what I know now...
