Ct26 turbo charger waste-gate weld?
I understand what the waste-gated does, It opens at idle /low rpms and controls the speed of the turbine (feel free to elaborate or correct my thoughts). It is to my understanding that if the waste gate were to be permanently (via weld) shut that the idle spool of the turbo would be greater therefore less spool up time. Is there any down side to this? There must be some reason to have a waste gate other than spooling the turbo at a lower rate during idle/low rpms. Would it effect the life/heath of the turbo or engine or an other parts?
