Default GODSPEED Wastegates?

Looking at these for my budget single build. Has anyone used one of these?

That's Ebay's ripoff version of a TurboSmart 38mm wastegate. I would stay the hell away from it personally. I'm not a big fan of most eBay parts, but especially ones as important as a wastegate. There have been several threads about faulty eBay gates in the past. The gates dont hold the proper pressure, they flutter and sometimes they spike. All in all, i would say to save up for a Tial 38mm and save yourself the headache...

I bought a 38MM china special (ebay) 40 bucks its kinda working

About to weeks ago I was driving through out the day
and noticed that my exhaust was louder than normal
(I have open down pipe and yeah i noticed it was louder lol)
So inspect under the hood and noticed that the top of my
wg was loose. Soo i take it apart and also notice that the diaphram
was ripped haha China knock offs I dont like to bag
on Ebay.com because its a good web site but ebay engine parts

By the way im saving for a Tial but there alot of money it seems like

They are dumpy . Go for something legit , one of the most important parts of the turbo build. A lil more cash to save your motor .. deffinetly worth it !
