Default SSAC wastegates>??????

how do yall like the ssautochrome wastegates, i have heard some good things about there wastegates cant say the same for the turbos but how do yall like them. and also do the wastegates come with the dump tubes?


what happens if the wastegate fails and im running an MBC? will it still spike and kill me or will the mbc save me some how

It won't save you. MBC retards opening of wastegate. But in case wastegate is not operating nothing stops turbo spinning to heaven.

There is very few problems with them if any.The catch is if it does fail it could cost you a engine etc.I have never had a issue with one and will continue to use them.When you recieve it open it and inspect the diaphram etc and re tighten everything to double check it as Chinese quality control isnt the best.

Boost cut is a must with the SSAC.
