How to pick a wastegate.
These are my specs.
1994 LS Integra
2.0L B20 engine Stock internals
Ramhorn manifold
t3t04e turbo
turbonetics deltagate mark 2 wategate
2.5 inch charge pipping and a small intercooler 27Lx6Hx3W
Greddy Type S Blow off valve.
DSM injectors and resistor box
Straight through 2.5 inch piping from turbo to tail pipe.
Other than that the car is stock everywhere else.
Ok so here is my problem..... I have a 7psi spring in my deltagate wastegate and i go much higher than 7psi in any heavier gear than 2nd gear especially if throttle is over 40%........
I am wondering if the deltagate mark 2 is too small and maybe i need a 38 mm or should i be able to use it???? cause on their website it says its good for 350-400hp...... and looking at my specs theres no way i can be in that power range..... so shouldnt it work???? though im not sure how they put such a general description of what it could do... i would think there would be some sort of CFM equation but whatever this is a lil above my head i got a headache and i would like some pros to help me out.....
so what do you guys think?

Re: How to pick a wastegate. (LordAphotic)
the older delta have a problem with it sticking... we have the newer Turbonetics EVOLUTION wg and Tial 38mm.... just replace the delta since the flanges are the same you can just swap it out.... the set up you got the 38mm will do the job.
