It features our own purpose designed Kevlar reinforced wastegate diaphragm and a 347 stainless investment cast valve body. Our investment cast valve body has a smooth internal surface, giving you better flow and more accurate boost control. Our PW46 was designed to be a direct replacement for other existing 44mm wastegate flanges, but will work best with the flange provided. The PW46 features a Nickel Chromium Alloy valve and 5 different 17-7 precipitation hardened springs. Also included are stainless steel inlet and outlet flanges with clamps.

Operational overview
Your PW46 wastegate, controls turbocharger boost by bypassing turbine inlet exhaust gas via a spring loaded valve diaphragm assembly. Spring rate, in conjunction with boost pressure signal, and back pressure, control the opening point of the wastegate valve. Once the spring rate has been over come, the valve will open. This causes exhaust flow to be diverted away from the turbine side of the turbocharger, effectively slowing and/or stabilizing the turbine wheels’ speed. This stabilization results in a smooth and steady boost pressure level, created by the compressor wheel of the turbocharger. Open pressure of the valve can be controlled via spring rate and or a boost controller, such as a manual boost controller or an electronic boost controller.
