Question:

Im putting together a turbo kit based on Toms DIY for a high boost application.

I was wondering if anyone had any experience for the wastegate other than the Turbonetics that comes with Tom's kit.

Some of the choices are:

Tial 38mm or 44mm
Turbonetics: Deltagate II (Toms Full Kits utilize this)

From my understanding those are pretty much the top 2 brands, however are the obligatory

HKS,GREDDY,BLITZ OR APEXI

Worth the time/trouble?

Tom, I would really like your opinion here since you have the most experience with SVT tuning (to my knowledge)

Please post your review of your wastegate with the following information:

Brand:
Size:
Amount of Boost your running:
Length you have had it on your car (miles etc.):
Pros/Cons:
Likes/Dislikes:

Thanks

I have the Deltagate, although I've heard rumors of the diaphram seizing over time. I also researched the Tial and came up with nothing but thumbs-up. As for the others, I've never taken the time to look into them.

I like either the delta gate or the new EVO

Tom

I use the tial, its been great to me thus far

I have the TIAL 38mm and it works fine with 19psi.

Orange,

What spring are you running?

I was looking at the Tial, but everywhere I look, they sell it without the flanges welded on. Where did you get yours from?

What flanges "arent welded on"[???:)]

You mean the flanges on the wastegate itself like this......

I have the small green spring.... its around 9psi

With a 9psi spring can you set the boost lower then 9psi using your boost controler?

hmmmm? im guessing no, but I'm prolly wrong.

I meant the flanges on the wastegate. That's what the websites said. That one you posted is the first one I've seen sold with them already one. Sounds weird, I know.
