Mine was made by a mechanic friend of mine who used to do exhausts. The plate was cut out by an engineering company from a template we made. Any decent performance exhaust shop should have no trouble making one.

Thanks NZ... I will look into that. Just a quick question about it... should the plate be a certain type of metal?

it all depends on the price really... i mean people say they want one... but if you plan on charging 100s for it then save your time.

now im sure they would sell on ebay like hotcakes.

I bought it for $150 I think.. Id have to see what my cost would be for making them, but I would guess Id sell for somewhere around $100.

If its good quality, it can be a little bit more and I'd still buy it. Put my name down for one!

$100 would be a good price if it was well made, I'd go for one too.

Why would you want to? The stock downpipe/pre-cat is way more restrictive than any turbulence the wastegate is making.
