#105741, "knockoff wastegate"




          

I bought a used wastegate off of a friend of mine and we are not sure of the maker. all i know about it is that it is a knockoff tial sport. it looks exactly like the cheap ebay wastegates so im guessing that is what it is. the problem is that it is set at 12 psi. i was wondering if anyone knows if i can use an actual tial spring. or if anyone has a 2-5 psi spring for this wastegate that they are looking to get rid of. or, last resort, maybe somone could give me the measurements (height, diameter, guage of material) of a real tial sport 2-5psi spring

Thanks

Get rid of that ebay crap and buy a real one. the diaphragm will rupture eventually and suddenly you have 20psi of engine destroying boost

I'd trust an internally gated turbo before trusting that thing to controlling boost.

It's kinda like using a hibernating bear for a babysitter, they may be safe now, but sooner or later it's gonna maul your kids. Or motor.... whatever.
