Yes, thats right..its here!! GrimmSpeed introduces the External Wastegate Up Pipe with 44mm V-Band flange. WHAT IS IT? An external wastegate allows the exhaust gases to be diverted prior to entering the turbo. Dumping the exhaust gas prior to the turbo helps with boost control, maintains boost longer in the rpm range, and extends the life of your turbo. Our pipe is fully built stainless steel EWG Up pipe and stainless steel dump tube for turbo Subarus. Monster thick SS flanges. New on our pipes for this product release...CNC cut flanges for closer tolerances! We have added a flex section which extends the life of the product and will lead to less exhaust leaks because the pipe can flex vs. warping the flanges in a non-flex setup(inturn creating leaks). Also new for this product release is the added support underneath the side-outlet. We haven't had issues in the past with cracking, but we just want to make sure it stays that way! Just another way we keep going above and beyond for you! WHY DO YOU NEED IT? Reason for switching to an EWG setup includes: Quicker turbo spool by allowing the exhaust gas to exit pre-turbo. There is alot of turbulence in the stock turbo at the internal wastegate so by moving the wastegate out of the turbo you get rid of this nasty turbulence thus improving the effiecency of the turbo as well. More efficient wastegate design that has a bigger diameter than stock allowing for the exhaust gas to be released quicker. Hold peak boost longer. This allows you to run a lower peak boost and increase HP at the same time. Much larger than the stock internal wastegate No more boost creep...EVER! GAINS? Users should expect gains in the 15-40hp range when tuned for the EWG setup. Another unique aspect of our package is that we include a bracket that holds your stock internal wastegate shut. This is great because you will no longer have to weld your turbo door shut which means you have no chance for leaks and you can revert back to stock anytime you want with no hassle.

Justin, I may have to call you for this one!!! I will just have to rob wee lil Winry's college fund... Maybe not. Looks awesome though!
thanks guys! we've been working on this one for a long time now and it turned out just like we wanted! well it was, now its off and the 38mm is back on the car. however, the car is completely gutted so it doesnt sound like your normal full interior sound. :emo: i know...we were out of stock of the td04 ones. maybe i can try to chop one in or something lol. sounds good..give us a ring! isnt that what you have student loans for, car parts and beer? Justin
i dont have the exact info on me right now(at home) but it is about 1.92" on the inlet size and it funnels down to 1.71 or so on the outlet side. we found this to be the optimal ID size because it is the biggest you can go on the inlet side without having the gasket be in the flow path, and the outlet is a good matchup to most common turbo inlets. no 3-bolt available now but it is definitely in the plans for the future.
So is this a good setup for a stock wrx? what other hardwared is recomended? I like the cobb system and sound, I have a VF39 and STI top mount intercooler I'm waiting to install until I find the right exhasut to finish it.
Oh man, I can't do the "I'll wait until I can finish it" route. If I get a part that CAN go on by itself, ITS ON. hahah This is definitely a nice looking piece tho. For sure.
saw them in person today - they really are outstanding! I'd have 5 of them on my car right now if it wasn't slated for n/a
You'd just switch out your uppipe with this one, add the wastegate and the dump tube, and find a way to close your internal wastegate (Grimmspeed sells the bracket). Tune, done.
we just started the group buy for the the 44mm EWG. we've had a ton of interest so it looks like everyone is going to be able to get to the cheapest pricing tier! http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1681263 Justin
