Turbosmart Electronic StraightGate External Wastegate (50mm)
Fits Most Models
TS-0565-1002
Overview:
The Turbosmart Electronic StraightGate (eSG50) is a groundbreaking external wastegate featuring the world’s first butterfly-style, electronically actuated design. Engineered for performance enthusiasts and tuners seeking precise boost control, this wastegate delivers exceptional flow capacity and near-linear response across the entire boost range. Its advanced electronic actuation eliminates the need for reference hoses, springs, or diaphragms, providing you with unparalleled control and reliability under demanding conditions.
Designed and validated in-house, the StraightGate50 offers a new level of boost management by combining innovative engineering with robust materials. Whether you’re building a high-performance street car or a track-focused turbo setup, this wastegate ensures stable operation and wide tuning flexibility to maximize your turbo system’s potential.
Key Features:
The Turbosmart eSG50 Electronic StraightGate is packed with advanced features that set it apart from traditional wastegates:
- 50mm (1.97 inch) butterfly-style zero-offset valve for maximum flow efficiency
- Exceptional flow capacity of 383.9 CFM (10.87 mÂł/min), supporting high horsepower applications
- Stainless steel butterfly and shaft constructed from 630 stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance
- Main body made from 347 stainless steel, ensuring strength and heat resistance
- Heat-treated 431 stainless steel V-band clamps for secure, leak-free mounting
- 360-degree mounting options on the V-band for flexible installation
- Clock-able actuator position with three 120-degree options to suit various setups
- Full electronic actuation via dual H-bridge input, eliminating the need for mechanical springs or reference hoses
- Onboard analog sensors for actuator temperature and valve position (0-5V output)
- Onboard digital valve position sensor with PWM output for precise monitoring
- 7-wire unterminated flying lead loom for easy integration with your engine management system
- Liquid cooling system for actuator stability under extreme conditions
Construction & Design:
The StraightGate50’s innovative zero-offset butterfly valve pivots centrally, balancing exhaust drive pressure equally on both halves of the valve. This self-balancing design reduces the effort required to actuate the valve, even under high exhaust pressures, resulting in smoother operation and a wider tuning window. Unlike traditional poppet-style wastegates that force exhaust gases to turn 90 degrees, the StraightGate’s straight-through butterfly valve design significantly improves flow efficiency and responsiveness.
All components are crafted from high-grade stainless steel alloys, ensuring long-lasting durability and resistance to the harsh thermal environment of turbocharged exhaust systems. The inclusion of heat-treated V-band clamps and multiple mounting options allows for versatile and secure installation in a variety of turbo setups.
Installation & Fitment:
The Turbosmart eSG50 is designed to fit most turbocharged vehicle models, making it a versatile upgrade for a wide range of applications. Its 360-degree V-band mounting and clock-able actuator position provide flexible installation options to accommodate different exhaust layouts and packaging constraints.
Installation requires integration with your vehicle’s electronic boost control system via the provided 7-wire flying lead loom. The wastegate includes an installation guide to assist with setup and wiring. No cutting, drilling, or special tuning is required beyond standard boost control calibration.
