ok has anyone use one of the cheap e-bay w/g. i need to get me one and i dont have big bucks to spend on one. my builder wants me to get a 50mm, so these ones that say they are 50mm, do they flow like a hks/greddy 50mm?? or should i get a bigger one like 60mm? allso the springs i heard they not very good. can you buy better springs? its for my fdrx7 with a gt35/40r. all other surporting mods done.

i did a seach in here, & the 3rd gen but found nothing.

here is one i was looking at, there are even cheaper ones out there. but this sound ok.

buy a real wastegate...not a knockoff. this is how companies go out of business

thanks, but if your going to buy me one, then i would be happy to get a good wastegate. anyway i just want to know if they would be ok for me. just as long as they can flow and hold the psi i'll be happy.

I strongly advise against it. A wastegate is a crucial part to a turbocharged vehicle. If it gets stuck closed, and doesn't properly open you will overboost and will have a huge repair bill. It's easily to do it properly the first time around and know the wastegate is going to function correctly. I can understand that you want to do it for cheap, but unfortunately you have to pay to play.

do i need a 50mm wastegate?? a got a stock mota, with the gt/35r, think it 106ar, got 1600cc/1000cc, power fc, fuel pumps, pretty much everything. the guy doing my car reckons it will have about 400hp when we finish. i do have a trust 42mm wastegate with 15psi spring. would that do?

agree with the wastegate, i use the ebay one (50mm hks style) for a long time, until i reilize the same, works good until you start putting and mixing good parts with bad parts, so this is what i did, i use the ebay one until i get enough money or find a good deal on a real HKS 50mm, now im good and no more boost creeps, so is good for a goal and is bad in a long run, is your choice anyways

d1rx7

how bad were the boost creeps? was it just creeping, not spikeing? how long did you use it for and what alse did you have done?

and in my post above, its ment to say gt35/40r

that wastegate should work fine for you.

stay away from the ebay stone racing/xs power/ss autochrome ****.
