need a wastegate that will bolt to the GReddy flange

I bought an older used GReddy turbo kit of Yahoo Japan. I had the turbo rebuilt (TD06) and cleaned/braced/ceramic coated the manifold and d/p. I don't quite trust the wastegate and need something that will bolt onto the 4 bolt GReddy flange.

Any ideas? Or perhaps is there an adapter that will allow me to run a Tial?

I am in the same situation but the bolt pattern on my manifold is not that of the HKS. Banzai racing makes an adapter for the HKS to Tial flange.

I had my greddy manifold wastegate flange chopped and when I ordered my
tial wastegate(60mm) and just asked them for the adapter flange that goes with it. Had it welded on and its great!!

That or you could just order the greddy gate that bolts on and call it a day but regardless I have had both the Greddy and Tial gates and both are awesome!!

Is it cast iron or stainless steel? If it's steel, cut the flange and weld a new one on there. That's what I did with my Feed manifold.

you might just have to cut a flange to fit the greddy bolt pattern, and then have a tial flange welded onto a short neck to make it work. That, or get the HKS adapter and slot it, I think the Greddy's pattern is bigger. Not 100% though.

I am using the cast greddy manifold, I decided to make an adapter flange and angled it a bit so it would fit snug past the steering. Please ignore the welds, it was quite difficult melting thin tubing to 10 gauge plate...

It's a SS manifold. And I guess I'm just going to weld on a new flange.

What do you guys think of the new precision wastegate? I like the options to run really low PSI for engine break in... and I'm only going to run 10PSI.

After reading about the Precision Gate, seems like a very well made and constructed gate, and very simular to the Tial.
