Porting a Turbo and Wastegate for Better Flow and Performance

Want to improve your turbo's performance for free? Having trouble controlling your boost, or "Boost creep" issues? This video will show you how to port your turbo's turbine housing and wastegate port, as well as match it to your car's manifold, to promote flow. This will allow you to better control boost and remove restrictions in your vehicle's exhaust, allowing for faster spool up and a more efficient system.

great video, i gotta do this to my civic and this video is definitely the most descriptive one i've found on this topic

[@marcmigneault8364]

I like your videos. But for future reference, sending metal shavings down the exhaust manifold, towards the valves may not be the best way to file. An oily rag in that manifold to catch the shavings would have been a better practice. Keep up the good work!

[@CashedOutCars]

That certainly would have been a better way to do it. Thanks for the support!

[@802Garage]

Good video man. :)

[@bragefjrvik4103]

Thanks 👍 I'm tempted to try this

[@CashedOutCars]

It should make a big difference!

[@FFTR335]

Great stuff man .

[@CashedOutCars]

Appreciate it!

[@tylerl2690]

Great video. I’m need to do this to my turbo yet and was looking for this video exactly 👍

[@CashedOutCars]

It makes a huge difference!

[@lexusreefa]

Did you try it and what is the result?

[@tylerl2690]

@@lexusreefa I’ve ported it but haven’t installed yet. Waiting on am ecu before putting it on

[@bleach_drink_me]

I have used a few cheap turbos. I automatically just port the wastegate soon as they come out of the box. I used 1 that didn't get modifed and it was impossible to control the boost. I like to add a slight chamfer to the port with a sanding drum. Not sure it does anything but it makes me feel good 😂

[@Jaden-up3bg]

Good shiz!

Following for the dyno number baseline comparison

[@CashedOutCars]

Hopefully it'll be soon to come! I've got to get a few other upgrades done before I can remap it

[@eskania]

Why you didn't do the turbo compressor inlet

[@CashedOutCars]

It would have been a good idea, I just wanted to finish it up quickly. My main concern was getting the wastegate issues sorted out and it worked great!

[@lexusreefa]

Would you tell us about the result please? Is it necessary to make a waste outlet?

[@CashedOutCars]

I posted some comments about it on later videos with the car, but boost creep has been entirely eliminated! :)

[@BigBenlolz]

Really interested if this will be enough to keep boost creep at bay.

[@CashedOutCars]

We’ll find out soon enough! With the cheap actuators I have it may or may not do the trick, I’m waiting on axles and then I can finally get the car together and try it🤘🏻

[@bleach_drink_me]

​@Manzano I'm sure it took care of it. I haven't watched his other videos yet but I know from experience that this works.

[@mikehedley8018]

I need advice on my 07 gti

[@CashedOutCars]

What advice are you looking for?

[@BulliKid]

Results??

[@CashedOutCars]

Still in the works, I had a ton of other projects to finish on the car and just started a new job. Should be back on the road very soon!

[@BulliKid]

@@CashedOutCars thanks. I plan to run a ebay tb25 turbo. It comes with 8psi spring. I’m going to order a 5psi spring and bore out the wastegate to hopefully by around 6-8

[@CashedOutCars]

You should be in good shape to do that! I’ll be posting the results as soon as I can, stay tuned!

[@sealeyteamsix5980]

See I’m also running an eBay turbo and mine just started boost creeping recently. Wouldn’t it do it out if the box and not after 3k miles with it? 🤨

[@CashedOutCars]

That does sound like an odd problem, my guesses are the wastegate flap may have word weird and be getting stuck or something wear related. Best of luck!

[@sealeyteamsix5980]

@@CashedOutCars exactly. It happens when I give it decent throttle around 3200 rpm then I’ll let off slightly and get back on and it works as it should. 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

I liked the start of the video but the music just got louder I stopped watching.
