As above, looking for a 38mm wastegate (non v-band) that can adjust to around 16-18psi (preferably 18 )

Prefer something of reputable brand and good nick, turbosmart, tial etc. Just seeing if someone has anything of interest before i cough up 350 bucks for a new turbosmart progate38

Brisbane area or willing to post.

I know you get what you pay for but I've had good results from a $60 eBay one, it holds to the adjusted boost fine and I've raped the thing for the last 6 months lol

Have you got a link for the $60 ebay one? How much boost you running

[Ian91]

It's the same as this one but may have been from another seller because I'm pretty sure it was $60. And it's running 15psi at the moment but was on 18 by accident lol.

Wow....those Chinese copy everything and anything to make a buck!

[Ian91]

Haha yep and luckily they are getting better at it gradually

Had years of practice..about time they got it right!

I have one here that has a burst diaphragm. He says it popped at 20psi. So they aren't indestructible.
And the pistons can apparently jam in the bores with higher boosts.
But I figured for lower boost stuff, they would be ok

Just sikaflex a bit of pool liner on it or something....

Some cross stitch skills, and double tarp with condoms. And sikaflex
