Wastegate Pipe – Porsche 911 (930)

On the first turbo versions, this pipe ran from the wastegate straight to the muffler; Porsche later found it simpler to route it directly to open air, with a small silencer. Our version being a pipe, it delivers a playful little whistle when the turbo kicks in – which is why it is our favourite.

It mounts directly on the turbo’s wastegate.

Fitting

• Original interfaces: direct replacement, no modification; fairly easy fitting
• Average fitting time: 30 minutes including removal (longer if the bolts are corroded)
• A lift is essential: the nuts at the wastegate are not easy to reach
• Tighten all nuts progressively
• Fitting kit included: gasket, stainless nuts, high-temperature copper grease
