From Uli:
On the waste gate unit there is a cylinder with metal wire wrapped around. Does anyone know the function of this part ? Looks like a cooling device, but I'm not sure. Would very much appreciate your view

Hi Uli:

In my experience, when an exhaust or other high-heat part is made in Inconel or other similar alloy, this part you ask about is like a bellows that allows for contraction/expansion in length of the part so that it doesn't fracture. For example, you can see it on the LaFerrari engine exhaust tubes on the longer straighter sections front and back cylinders:

If the part is curved it will move and reshape without too much risk, but for a straight section that needs to adjust length it makes sense to me that these bellows are welded into the pipes. I may be wrong but this is what I've deduced by looking at them.

Best,
AJ

thanks for your interest, guys !

Hi AJ, many thanks for your view/explanation, which has helped me a lot to research into the right direction. The device acts indeed as bellows between the exhaust/wastegate system.

BR, Uli

Michael has a Facebook page. Look for mwt modelling (or similar).

And Uli, amazing as always. Just looking at that pedal assembly - seriously how many individual parts are that, 50+? And the mind boggling part is, that the picture I see on my screen is larger than the actual parts.
Cheers,
Roman
