All (Both :lol: ) of mine have 205 specific hotside flanges. Do you by any chance have a picture of the support bracket attachment?

The S148 AFAIK has a 205 specific downpipe flange but teh turbo support bracket has drillings for both 185 and 205 which use different support bracket locations

I think you have the wrong turbo and I'd get onto TT pronto!

IMO a twin port WG will hurt performance not improve it

I have seen 5 of these turbos (s148) and also owned 2 and all had single wastegate.

If Turbo Technics have changed the spec/design of these back to twin entry then they have lost the edge in hybrid turbos. I really can't believe that as it is their best selling hybrid according to a TT rep.

I will take some pics of my S148 and may even call TT on Monday. Last time I spoke with them they were very open about specs and design.

Steve is also correct on that all teh S148s I have seen have been with st205 7 stud exhaust side flange and turbo dupport bracket/heatshield double drillings to suit both a st185 and st205.

I guess there is a possibility that TT actually still bore out teh twin entry section internally and use the standard wastegate but I woudl question why!
