Garrett 45mm External Wastegate [GVW-45]

Garrett Vent | External Wastegates regulate turbocharger shaft speed by venting exhaust gas around the turbine stage of the turbocharger. CFD optimized design maximizes flow and delivers optimum boost control. Advanced thermal optimization increases durability of the diaphragm. The cap design makes spring changes and serviceability of the entire GVW lineup easier and more reliable to perform.

• CFD tested for maximum flow and thermal efficiency

• Optimized actuation stability and temperature resistance for superior durability

• Replaceable valve and bushing components to increase service life

• Robust design for easy diaphragm replacement

• Liquid-cooled actuator ports for use on severe applications (up to 52% reduction in body temp)

• Anodized aluminum actuator cover

• Four Colors: Red | Blue | Black | Silver

• Valve Size: 45mm

• Springs | Fittings | Flanges | V-bands included

• Standard Base Pressure: 1 Bar | 14.5 PSI

• Maximum Base Pressure: GVW45 & GVW50: 23 PSI | 1.6 Bar

• Minimum Base Pressure: 3 PSI | 0.2 Bar

Flow Data

Garrett engineers created GVW as a high flowing product with low degradation in performance over its lifespan. Here’s how the three GVW wastegate sizes flow in LBS/MIN and KG/SEC at various increments of the valve stroke.

Changing Wastegate Springs

Wastegate springs are under pressure and can cause bodily harm if improperly installed. Please wear eye protection. If you have any doubts as to your ability to install this product, consult a local automotive repair company.

Remove the wastegate from the manifold. Place wastegate into an arbor press and depress the ram so it creates downward pressure on the top banjo fitting. The ram should be centered over the banjo. Remove the (6) 3mm hex-head screws in the top cap while maintaining pressure on the ram as to keep the cap from lifting off the body.

Once all 6 screws are removed, slowly raise the ram on the arbor press to release the pressure on the springs. Using the spring chart below, identify the appropriate springs you wish to install. GVW wastegates are assembled to 1 Bar | 14.5 PSI.

The springs must sit properly in the grooves to align the diaphragm assembly and actuator cover. Improper placement of the springs may result in failure of the wastegate. Set replacement springs in the diaphragm assembly grooves. Place top cap on and align the longest spring with the appropriate groove in the cap.

Place the wastegate in the arbor press and center it under the ram. Lower the ram slowly until the top cap touches the actuator body. Align the holes in the top cap with the threaded holes on the bottom cap, then install the (6) 3mm hex-head crews. Once all (6) screws are tight, raise the ram, remove the wastegate and torque the hex-head screws to 2.5Nm | 2.0 ft-lb.
