I have a different waste gate setup now with the larger turbo. However thats how I had the stock turbo for a while, and Alex also had the same setup on his car for quite some time, in fact it had the controller on it when he got the car from my friend Fred. You have to remember that some of this turbo theory is from the very early 80's, and some things were done that didn't need to be... The time when the exhaust is going to be the hottest is under full acceleration and full boost, at which point air will be flowing through anyway. At part throttle conditions and less than wastegated boost, the EGTs are low anyway. Also, look at the external waste gates used on some turbo setups, they are bolted directly to the exhaust and don't incorperate any kind of vent/air pass through system. If your waste gate gets fried I have another stock turbo for you!
