Welded internal wastegates

Hey all,

what are people's experiences with reverting from welded internal gates back to standard (i.e.unpicking the weld on the internal gate)?

Been noticing a few turbos that catch my eye but have the gate welded shut.

Biggest concern would be that the weld cant be cleanly removed meaning the internal gate won't operate as it should/close 100% when needed.

Cheers

Never done it myself, but if the welds are half decent you are going to spend some happy hours with a die grinder and then probably have to replace the WG flapper 

turbo dependant it would be easier and possibly cheaper to get a new exhaust housing and WG assembly

I purchased one that had been welded just with a couple of tacks on the swing arm at the top. That one was easily saved.

When it has been welded around the flapper at the bottom I personally don’t think it could be removed easily. You would probably be better off getting an unmodified turbo.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
