Default Turbonetics Deltagate ??????

I would like to know what amount of boost people are boosting with this waste gate? Reason I ask is that everyone talks about Tial, and HKS and yet I see 1000hp dometics running Deltagates. Why? Everyone talks about boost creep and boost spike, and although I have not passed 11psi, I have yet to experience it. Please give me some knowledgeable feedback on this.
Thanks!

Right now I'm running 15psi on mine with a friend's Profec B. I used to run 10 on a stupid homemade MBC. After everything is tuned out, I will run 18psi.

I have had no problems running 7psi before the rebuild, 10 after the rebuild, and 15 now.

Two of my friends are running high boost on their Deltagates too. Actually, I've only experienced creep once when I was running 7psi with an open downpipe and boosting hard for about 10 seconds straight. Crept to about 9.

Mine only spiked during this winter. It went from 7 - 9psi.

How far do you guys have the screww sticking out of the top? Mine is about a half inch of thread coming out. I really have no clue where a good spot to set it is.

Just get tial, because it looks prettier

I would not risk my engine for a 150 dollar upgrade.

I think bad exhuast manifold design is what causes deltagates to creep, not the deltagate itself.

I feel the same way. I'm not going to buy anything new until I have problems with this one. Another thing though, people say that if you get an electronic boost controller then you have to change the wastegate spring. I called Turbonetics and they said no, although I still hear different. ????

Oh and SuperDragII, how the hell did you get 11990 post? That must of taken forever. Unless you live on this thing?

And what's Turbomafia? Anyone know?

I used my deltagate with no boost controller and it reliably went to 9 PSI all the time.

Now I've got my GReddy Profec B hooked up and it sits right at 8ish PSI <about .6 bar> without ANY movement, no matter how hard I push it. I've had my turbo for 2 years with a LOOOOONG rebuilt period between running times. No issues.

The GReddy BOV did try to stick on mwe after a 8 month hiatus from duties, tho
