wastegate questions!

im boosting my DA and ive had some people tell me that this ebay waste gate will be fine for 6-8 psi and others tell me absolutly not any input? here is the link to the wastegate 38MM EXTERNAL TURBO/TURBOCHARGER WASTEGATE 8PSI SPRING - eBay (item 160550112443 end time Mar-01-11 07:58:36 PST)

Probably works as well as the price is...

garbage. most of those have paper diaphragms and will fail sooner than youd like. and what happens when a wastegate fails? boost spikes, and your engine could possibly be the newest addition to the collection of garbage on the street.

steer clear of those. get a TiAL.

it's over now already anyway, but you cannot run lower than the spring. it was listed as 8psi. there is no way to run less than 8 psi with an 8 psi spring in the gate. boost controllers only go up from the base gate.

that said, i'd agree. get a tial or a synapse
