Talk:Wastegate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I did a major revision today.

Line 1 implied internal gates only (in a turbocharger), so I generalized it so it would apply to external gates.

Added information on the valve types for both internal and external wastegates.

Generalized external gates, because you can use one with a turbo that has an internal gate, added blurb that this involves welding the internal gate to avoid leaks.

Fixed spelling mistake in wastegate chatter section.

Added a lead in to a link to boost control, but at least explained how the basics of the mechanical and pneumatic boost control system works.

I'm going to propose that the entire wastegate chatter section be removed. I've never heard of this. I think most people know what a blow-off valve sounds like, or what compressor surge sounds like. This seems anecdotal and not related to general wastegate article. Perhaps this is common in some narrow social group, but it is news to me. Never heard of "wastegate chatter". I left it in tact, perhaps I just don't get out enough?? --Freonr2 04:52, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
