Garrett GVW-45 External Wastegate Kit 45mm V-Band Blue Bolt on Upgrade for Tial MVR 44mm WG

Garrett Vent External Wastegates regulate turbocharger shaft speed by venting exhaust gas around the turbine stage of the turbocharger. CFD optimized design maximizes flow and delivers optimum boost control. Advanced thermal optimization increases durability of the diaphragm. The cap design makes spring changes and serviceability of the entire GVW lineup easier and more reliable to perform.

Thermal Data

When researching and testing common shortfalls of wastegates, we observed how heat cycling and normal wear can rapidly change their actuation characteristics. Garrett engineers created GVW as a high flowing product with low degradation in performance over its lifespan. Actuation data (opening and closing) in the chart was measured before and after extreme testing conditions. Results show the heat cycled GVW product maintains linear control of the wastegate as compared to the new product. Precise actuation of the GVW provides accurate calibration settings and performance throughout the lifespan of the product. Accurate wastegates, allow for optimum performance of the turbocharger.

• Max Thermal Stress (non-cooled): 270°C actuator body temp during thermal cycle test
• Max Thermal Stress (liquid-cooled): 130°C actuator body temp during thermal cycle test
• Max Exhaust Temp | Peak: Up to 1050°C

GVW Wastegate Placement Suggestions

Wastegate placement on the exhaust manifold is a key factor in wastegate performance. The following suggestions can help identify the best choice when purchasing or fabricating an exhaust manifold for your project. The connection on the manifold greatly affects flow capability, and correct orientation of the wastegate to the manifold is essential.

The ideal connection is at 45° with a smooth transition (Figure 1). Placing the wastegate at 90° to the manifold (Figure 2) will reduce flow capacity by up to 50 percent and can cause over boosting! More reduction in flow capacity will result if the wastegate is placed at angles greater than 90° (Figure3). Figures 2 and 3 greatly reduce the control you have over the system and can put your entire drive train at risk. Never mount the wastegate to the turbine housing at any time, this will reduce the performance of the turbocharger (Figure 4). Contact an authorized distributor for additional information.

Wastegate Port Fittings

GVW wastegates feature a water-cooling circuit which allows the product to be operated in extremely high temperature conditions while maintaining its actuation characteristics. Water-cooling symbols are etched near both of the fitting ports for easy identification. If watercooling, both ports must be used to create a coolant loop. (2) Water fittings and (2) washers are included and can be installed with a 14mm wrench or socket.

There are two air ports on the top cap and three air ports on the valve body. (2) 14mm Banjo fittings with washers and (3) 5mm hex head air plugs are included.
