I have used many SSautopoop gates with zero problems to date.When you recieve it go over everything and double check bolts are tight,diaphram is seated properly etc.It is somewhat of a gamble though because if it does fail it could cost you a engine.A Tial from LSD or others is a nice piece of mind and a good idea if you got hte cash which I dont so I run CDM.

Only cost you an engine if you don't use boost cut!

You can get a brand new external tial wastegate for $215 shipped. Any spring rate you want included. I actually just bought one the other day... 11.6psi spring
