Guys,

I'm looking at purchasing a new wastgate and I have just been looking around for a little bit and the 60mm GT series cought my eye...

Do any of you have any experiances with them and are they made out of quality materials??

I wouldn't mind you guys even shearing your experances with the standard hks wastgates...

Just tell me something good or bad about them...

Adi

I appriciate it.

 

The new **** is bad *** with the V-band. If I had more money I would get it. I can feel it now, a sponship by HKS..hehe

 

nice, works well on a Supra, but pretty much unneeded unless you're pushing well over 500whp

 

I haven't had teh chance(or money)to use teh GT series, but I love my standard HKS WG...

holds boost perfectly and never lets me down

 

They have a new Gen2 series that looks soo dope..

 

This is my wastegate of choice. I absolutly love hks products. I had a GT wastegate in my hand today as a matter of fact and fell in love with it. It is a 60m, but I think its even good for low hp cars controling boost better cause of the big diaphram. Now the GT 2 wastegate is amazing. The whole thing is made sooo precise. Its like half the size and weight of the first gen GT and comes with a color top. It comes in either a 60mm or 50mm opening. Also it comes with a complete spring kit because you use 2 springs in it to match the exact amount of boost u want. The only thing that sucks is price. Its up near 1000 bucks for that one. Im still in love with it though.

 

Good Wastegate i ran it open on my 500whp+ rx7 and i loved that thing holds the boost like crazy.

 

over priced imo

 

they work great. its one of hte best wg on the market period..

 

yeah like Art said I love the v-bands and the thing looks very nice and just has its own little caracter but on the other had the GT 2 series is just plain stout and sexy!!

I would love to have one (gt 2) but its just a little bit more than my budget allows me to spend..

One thing that I have notice thou is that most of the HKS wastegates rust has the GT series been coated with anything to prevent that or put bluntly does it rust??

I would just hate spending over $500 to have it rust on me and look like crap in like 2 months...

Adi

 

you can coat it, but they rust because they're made out of cast iron...

Maybe the new GT series has a stainless base now

 

The GT 2 is all stainless....it wont rust. Once again though, its like 900 bucks.

 

Well I'm definitely gona go with the gt first gen series but what can I coat that wastgate with so it doesn't rust on me??

adi

 

Seems like overkill on one of your cars, but its your money !!!

 

how would the Le Mans Tial compare to this w/g?
