Turbosmart, Australian Manufacturer of Boost Control & Performance Products and 2018 SEMA: Best Performance-Race New Product Award Winner releases their much anticipated eWG Electronic Wastegate - A fully electronic actuatable external wastegate in 45mm & 60mm options.
In 2016, Turbosmart rolled out the GenV External wastegate range, and one of the critical benefits of this design is the modular architecture; allowing a rotatable diaphragm housing, optional water cooling and the ability to swap actuators housings between gate sizes, ensuring Turbosmart had a gate, for every customer need, no matter the size, or control requirements.
Turbosmart’s eWG45 and eWG60 give you all the flow & interchangeability of Turbosmart’s GenV range of External wastegates, with the kind of control never seen before, independent of any reference signal, without the need for compressed gas or boost hoses and is fully adjustable from your tuning interface, no need for changing springs: Boost control is entirely adjustable from your laptop.
Mechanically actuated wastegates are honestly tried & tested over the years. The GenV range has proven itself in the harshest of environments & continues to set world records and claim fans with their reliability and performance. As boost control strategies become more and more complex, however, Turbosmart went back to the drawing board for a solution that maintains all the performance & reliability of the GenV range and adds truly infinite control.
The Turbosmart eWG operates on a current draw while providing fast & efficient boost control against up to 80psi drive pressure (eWG60) and over 120psi for the eWG45. As with the Gen-V range, there is a provision for water cooling.

Yes, you can – In fact, it’s one of the situations that the eWG would be ideal for. You will not need the external compressed gas tank, the lines or the solenoid – You just need the eWG.
You will need a programmable ECU (Engine Control Unit). You will need a ‘high current’ (20amp) output and a spare analogue input to make it work. Most quality ECU’s can drive the gate for accurate boost control. Best speak to your specialist or calibrator about your needs if you have any questions on what is needed.
