what wastegate is the best?
 
i'm low on budget.....
so i don't mind an external wastegate that comes off a stock car...
what stock cars have external wastegate that i can use with my t3/t4 turbo...
my goal is to reach 20 and up psi.....
so what wastegate would you guys recommend.??
what is good for the money and also the boost i need?

Not to many factory cars have external gates, maybe some porsche's and audi's.. but who knows how well those will work. If you are on a budget just go with a used deltagate, Or just save up a little bit and get a nice tial 35mm gate.

tial is really expensive...i don't want to spend 200 for a wastegate when i could get a turbo with wastegate for 200 right....
hehe..
so what would you recommend......
right now i have a deal with a t3/t4 turbo without wastegate and he is selling it for 200 canadian....
what do you guys think??

I already told you.. if you want something to control your boost you are going to atleast get a half assed gate (deltagate) Who knows what the porsche or audi gates are even set to, what if they were set to 10psi? kinda fucked their.

200 isnt alot for a wastegate at all. Check ebay, bet you could find something used their.

Really?
Audi gate is set at 14.5?
hmm nice
I got one for free at a junkyard a few days ago ;D
It's 30mm...
But How does it hook up?
There is a screw with 3 holes ... should the vacume source go there?
And on top there is a nipple, should it just stay open?
