Wastegated or non-wastegated?

[Kris K]

So With my ATS turbo how do I tell if it's a wastegated or non-wastegated turbo. what do I need to look for. Also the sticker on my valve cover says the engines rated for BHP 158 @ 3300 RPMS aslo it says BHP 175 @ 3300 RPMS so whats my engine rated for?? so with the turbo how much HP & TQ do i have?

Look for the wastegate actuator. It will be a metal can with a rod connecting it to the wastegate valve on the turbo.

And as far as the horsepower numbers my guess is that one of them is for a high altitude engine, and the other one a normal sea level one.

I believe i have a wastegated turbo then. There's a can with a rod going back towards the firewall to another part of exhaust?

On the valve cover sticker there should be a set of parenthesis above each power rating. Whichever one your engine is set to should have a hole punched through the sticker in between the parenthesis.

The hole is punched in the 158 hp . But the pump is turned up a touch.
