for 200 bucks you can get something nice, like a 35/38 mm tial . or cheaper for a used one.

I recently purchased a 38 mill Tial brand new in the box for NZ $300.
For USA $200 u should have no problems finding a good used one or newish.

Cant wait to hear what this one sounds like.. ;)

thats pimpshit with that audi wastegate....but i have a JGS turbo manifold...this isnt a honda...its a 240sx KA dual cam motor with a t4 turbo. i got the turbo brand new for 120 bux....the manifold for 150 and since the audi wastegate has a different flange i wouldnt be able to use it...i have a flange for a tial style 35/38mm flange...but i can use any brand...i know this is prolly the last question you want to hear but what about the SS autochrome wastegates...I KNOW there manifolds are crap...but i havent heard about there wastegates...if i can get some good response then id consider one...but i dont want to buy one unless they work.

cut off there plate and make your own and weld it on. the ssautoshits diaphram breaks.broke on hotrex after i think 2k or more and broke on some other people to.

Re: Which External Wastegate should i get?
 

when you say modify the spring....what are you actually doing for modifcations? and it doesnt look like there is enough metal there to cut off the stock flange and weld on a new one...i guess i could try if it were only 50 bucks...where can i aquire one at?

Re: Which External Wastegate should i get?
 

cut a coil off.fook said his friend cut 1.5 off and said he got like 4.5 psi. ill prolly cut one coil off and see what that gets me. just find a peice of metal thick enough and drill the bolt pattern on it and the 30mm hole in the middle weld it real good on top of the plate on the header. cheap and easy.

Re: Which External Wastegate should i get?
 

thanks....one last question...where did you get yours...and what years did they come off of...

Re: Which External Wastegate should i get?
 

came off an audi 500,not to sure on year but older one. I got a guy to sale me one off ebay but not through ebay.try here they pop up every now and then or hit up the audi forums.
