Which wastegate to use for T04s
I hear people are having boost creep with the standard Hks wastegate. I am running a 62-1 To4s on an fc. Should I just go with the racing version. I don't want to spend the extra money if I don't have to but I want what will work the best. Let me know what you guys know Thanks

so long as you are not trying to run less than 10 psi, any of the HKS units will work. If you can afford a better WG it is always a good investment. What boost controller will you be using? generally running a spring close to your target is best, an electronic boost controller will be able to roughly double the spring rate when it is maxed out.

I can't imagine how that little wastegate holds. I'm not discrediting you, but I couldn't hold crap with my 40mm hks. Though the actual outlet on the hks is only 32mm.
The only way I've been able to hold boost is without a wastegate so far (not to streetable however). I think the 50mm that's on it's way will solve my problems. If your going with the hks manifold, I would only recommend the 50mm unit, to make up for the lack good flow characteristics. It will save you money later when you realize the standard is to small.

the mainfold i got is for a 3rd gen. it is a tubular stainless mainfold with a wastegate runner of each exhaust runner, they T together into one flange. It will flow plenty. i will try to get pics. it almost looks like the obx one. way better quality though. If my mainfol flows real good do i really need the racegate. or can i go with the standard.. Thanks for the imput.
