ID a WasteGate :)

Trying to figure out this wastegate that the previous owner installed on my car. I'm less concerned with the brand name (probably not one) and more concerned with the bolt pattern (Tial vs. Hks). Hoping to purchase an upgrade for it (assuming this is a piece of garbage.

Let me know if you have any ideas on it.

let me know if there's something else to photograph that would help identify.

Looks like a HKS "style" setup to me....Could be a ebay knock off of the hks older style...Usually they have hks on the top of the watesgate this did not..

As mentioned this is HKS standard 40mm "style." The real one would have HKS cast into the top.

I would run the 44mm over the 46mm proven top flow better as well as being v-banded.
