IMPORTANT NOTES ON YOUR EXTERNAL WASTEGATE  
-
Fitting your Power-Gate60 may require fabrication or modification to your exhaust manifold. Turbosmart recommends that your  
Power-Gate is fitted by an appropriately qualified technician.  
-
-
The Power-Gate60 is designed for use with a turbocharger that does not have an internal wastegate.  
Consult your local specialist before setting your desired boost pressure, setting boost beyond your engines capability may result in  
engine damage.  
-
-
-
DO NOT wrap the body of the wastegate with exhaust wrap  
DO NOT Mount the wastegate so that the top diaphragm housing is less than 100mm from a heat source  
Allow for adequate cool airflow around the top diaphragm housing  
RECOMMENDATIONS  
-
-
-
Turbosmart recommends that boost pressure is set using a Dynamometer and not on public roads.  
Turbosmart recommends that a boost gauge be permanently fitted to the vehicle.  
Turbosmart recommends that the engines Air/Fuel ratio is checked while setting the desired boost pressure, as any increase in  
boost pressure can cause the engine to run “LEAN”, resulting in possible engine damage.

BASIC COMPONENTS OF YOUR POWER-GATE 60MM EXTERNAL WASTEGATE  
Use the diagram to help identify the “top” and “bottom” ports, and inlet/outlet ports of your wastegate.  
Top” Port  
Bottom” Port  
Outlet  
Inlet  
-
-
-
-
When pressure is applied to the “bottom” port of a wastegate, i.e. underneath the  
wastegate diaphragm, it acts against the wastegate spring and the wastegate valve opens.  
When pressure is applied to the “top” port of a wastegate, i.e. above the wastegate diaphragm, its acts with the wastegate  
spring and helps to close the wastegate valve.  
The Inlet is connected to the exhaust manifold before the turbine housing of your  
turbocharger. See recommendations following for Power-Gate60 mounting position.  
Outlet returns exhaust gas back into the exhaust system after the turbocharger. (NOTE if mounted on a dedicated race car  
the outlet can be vented directly to atmosphere towards  
the ground)

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MOUNTING YOUR POWER-GATE60  
The mounting position of your Power-Gate60 will be largely  
determined by your turbo and manifold setup and may be  
constrained by space restrictions in your engine bay. The following  
points should be considered when mounting your Power-Gate60.  
-
The weld flanges should be welded to your exhaust  
system. The weld flanges are compatible with Stainless  
Steel and Mild steel welding rod material.  
-
Secure the Power-gate60 to the weld flanges with the  
supplied V-Band clamps. Do not forget to put the valve  
seat into the body before mounting the unit on the  
exhaust manifold. Tighten the supplied M6 screws to a  
torque value of 14 Nm (10 ft/lbs)  
-
For best results an attempt should be made if space  
allows to mount the Power-Gate60 at an angle to the  
exhaust flow to allow for better flow than a 90 degree  
mounting. See the schematic diagrams below for  
examples of mounting positions.  
Best Flow Symmetric Mounting  
Good Flow Angled Mounting  
Symmetric mounting allows an excellent flow of exhaust to the  
Power-Gate60.  
Angled mounting allows a good flow of exhaust to the Power-  
Gate60.

ACHIEVING YOUR TARGET BOOST PRESSURE  
There are various factors involved in achieving your target boost pressure including.  
-
-
-
The size of the spring fitted in your wastegate i.e. the boost pressure achieved by the wastegate spring only.  
The desired level of boost pressure and the difference between this and your wastegate spring pressure.  
The size of your turbocharger and wastegate and the resulting exhaust manifold backpressure in your system.  
Turbosmart recommends the ideal setup for achieving your target boost pressure is to use the Power-Gate60 in conjunction  
with a Turbosmart e-Boost controller.  
IMPORTANT NOTES ON SETTING THE WASTEGATE SPRING PRESSURE  
A stiffer spring should only be used when necessary. The Power-Gate60 allows for different combinations of spring pressures. All  
springs that are adaptable with the Power-Gate60 are shown in the table below. The tuner can use combinations of up to 3 springs to  
achieve the following base boost pressures. To aid in the identification of these springs they are supplied colour coded. If this colour  
coding is not clear please use the dimensions in the following table to identity the wastegate spring. Please see the following detailed  
instructions on setting your Power-Gate60’s spring pressure. The springs chosen should be rated to the lowest boost level desired.  
Changing the springs  
WARNING! Fitting a heavier wastegate spring may cause a higher than expected increase in boost pressure.  
Turbosmart recommends adjusting your boost controller back to its minimum setting and measuring the new minimum boost pressure  
achieved by the new spring, before increasing your boost pressure again.

Hold the cap down in a press or vice. Using a 5mm Allen Key, remove the M6 Socket head cap screws that secure the upper  
wastegate cap. WARNING! The cap is under spring tension, wear safety glasses and remove with care! Slowly back off the  
vice or press and remove the cap.

Select and locate the required wastegate spring or combination of inner and outer springs on the upper diaphragm spring  
support. See spring information above for detail on wastegate spring identification and selection.  
Ensure that the diaphragm is inside the diaphragm groove. The six holes on the outer ring of the wastegate diaphragm should  
be in line with the 6 holes in the lower wastegate cap.  
Slowly push the top cap down on the lower diaphragm housing in a vice or press. As the cap reaches the diaphragm, slowly  
turn the cap left and right as you lower the cap to the lower diaphragm housing. Make sure that the convolution of the  
diaphragm is not pinched between the top cap and the lower diaphragm housing. Refit the upper wastegate cap re-using the  
M6 Socket head cap screws. Again you may find it helpful to use a press to hold down the cap with a press or a clamp while  
tightening these screws. Tighten the M6 Socket head cap screws using a 5mm Allen Key and torque to 8 N-m (5.9 lb-ft)

NOTES ON BOOST CONTROL HOOKUP  
WARNING! Changing your connection method can cause a higher than expected increase in boost pressure. Turbosmart recommends  
adjusting your boost controller back to its minimum setting and measuring the new minimum boost pressure achieved by the new setup  
before increasing your boost again.  
IMPORTANT! Refer to your boost controller instructions for most suitable connection method to an external wastegate.  
Basic setup  
If no boost controller is being used connect the boost pressure source to the “bottom” port as shown. Connect the wastegate “top” port  
to the intake side of the turbo, between the air cleaner and the inlet on the front of the turbocharger. Otherwise connect a short piece of  
the silicon hose and face the vent downwards to stop water or debris entering the top port.

Boost Tee setup  
When using your wastegate in conjunction with a Turbosmart Boost Tee, fit the controller between the boost pressure source and  
“bottom” port as shown. Ensure the arrow on the Boost Tee is pointing in the direction illustrated. Connect the wastegate “top” port to  
the intake side of the turbo, between the air cleaner and the inlet on the front of the turbocharger. Otherwise connect a short piece of the  
silicon hose and face the vent downwards to stop water or debris entering the top port.  
Refer to the instructions supplied with your Boost Tee for further detail if necessary.

e-Boost 2 connection methods  
Turbosmart recommends using the wastegate in conjunction with the Turbosmart e-Boost.  
The first method of installation is a one port connection. If the desired boost level is not achieved i.e. boost level is too low, or not  
controllable, it is recommended that the wastegate spring be changed to a spring which is closer to the desired boost pressure or to trial  
a 2 port connection method.  
There are 3 different 2 port connection methods that can be trialed to achieve different results. The 2 port method (1) can be used if  
there is high exhaust manifold back pressure forcing the valve open. The 2 port method (2) allows the user to achieve the maximum  
boost pressure their turbo system is capable of. If a wide range of boost pressures is desired i.e. 5 40 PSI, a 2 port connection with a  
4
port solenoid (sold separately TS-0301-2003) might be needed.

*NOTE: An increase in your minimum boost pressure is expected when using any of the 2 port connection methods. Ensure all boost  
set point values and gate pressure values are set to Zero and measure the new minimum boost pressure achieved by this method  
before increasing your Boost Set Point values.  
Two port connection Method (1) (For controlling boost on a turbo system with high back pressure)
