So, I know that putting an external wastegate directly on the turbine works, but I am trying to figure out exactly where to put it. This would be my first choice, for packaging and downpipe making:
My gut tells me this is less than ideal, since it leaves 180 degrees of the turbine with a full exhaust flow. Also, the hole would have to be smaller in that location, because the area for the exhaust in the housing has tapered so much by then. This seems like it would be a better option, but I like it less for packaging reasons:
Anyone have any educated guesses on whether it even makes a difference? Or if I'm even correctly thinking about the way exhaust travels through a turbine?
