ST165 Turbo wastegate crack

Postby sergei » Thu Sep 29, 2005 12:36 am

Hi, I was taking a close look at my turbo, while it was out, on my ST165, and I've noticed a crack on the seat of the wastegate inside turbine housing...
I know that can create boost problems.
I don't want to spend lots of money fixing/upgrading because I'm planning to replace that engine with ST205 engine with turbo anyway...
Any cheap way to fix that, or just live with it for a while?

Car is not running anyway and will not be atleast for a few month...

P.S. also I have crack (acutally 2) inside exhaust manifold where runners meet ( in the "+" bit)...

This cracking is common. I'd say live with it if you are going to upgrade.
