deltagates are good but they lack the seal ring that all other 35/38 gates have.
you better use a good gasket like the turbonetics "fire ring" ones and use high grade bolts/studs with think flat washers because as soon as the bolts loosen, gasket will blow and you'll have a major boost leak. people tget rid of them mainly for that reason.
If it's used, machine the flange flat on the manif and wastegate prior to install and you'll be fine.
i think i prefer a use deltagate to the chinese ones. It has a nice vintage looks!

Buy the chink brand wastegate... I bought a used deltagate and had to replace the gasket and took a couple of days to source one locally...
