thats what i was thinking....

 

Have you put it on yet?

 

no I wont get it tell tomarow

 

From what I have read here they are very good wastegates so I doubt you will have any problems. Good luck.

 

Someone is selling me a turbosmart BOV and I don't know it's good or not.

 

here is what they claim>>>>

TurboSmart 35mm UltraGate
New offering from TurboSmart. Weld on steel manifold flanges and gaskets. Supports up to 600-hp. Compact size of just 4 1/2" by 4". Comes with standard 7-psi spring.

 

how much did you pay for the wastegate and where did you get it?

 

I would like to know that too.

Thanks

I got it from INLINEPRO.com.But Im a dealer for them.IM me for price.

 

Here it is installed.Im divorcing it out the side of the bumper..

 

Very nice setup.

 

doens't everyone say how shitty they are and how you should get a tial? this is in no way an attack to the original poster that is just what i have heard. and your setup looks really nice by the way.

 

I have not heard that.But the peopl i have talked to dont know much about it.The guys at INLINEPRO say they love them.But they also sold it to me..Im going to give it a try.One good thing aboout it is that it is about 2" shorter than a tial and hood clearence was a problem w/my set up.The workmenship of the wastegate is good and side by side to the tial the turbosmart actually looks a little better.But tial is a proven product and if this one dosnt work out ill go w/a tail.As soon as I run the car and put some hours on the engine I will repost on this thread to let you guys know if there up to par par not.

 

It sux. My brothers kit came with one of those. It wont hold boost at a steady setting. It goes to 9psi than set at 7psi.

 

Are you thinking of Turbonetics wastegate?

 

no..its the turbosmart, just like the one in the pic. The new rev hard kits come with it.

 

well, they are business men, shieeete, i would od the same to sell, i mean thats how the game goes with business,

anyways, you should just sticj with what you know if you can ie, tial. you dont wanna be a guinea pig, feel me? nice manifold finish, what kind is it? forgive me , VW owner trying to learn some honda it also looks like a copy of the tial, but you wont know until you run it, looks like a nice unit,

 

The mani is a spark racing it is made of stainless steel..

 

I just installed one of these wastegates. 95 B18B with t3/t04e. This was a revhard kit for the b18. The wastegate seems the work fine but opens at about 4.5 psi of intake manifold boost (probably 7 at the turbo). We shimmed the spring to get 6psi out of it. works great no spiking at all, I think an MBC would help the spool up quite a bit. The last 2 psi take a while so i think it might be opening a little early. Nice wastegate overall. seems like overkill for a 6-8psi kit though. oh ya this one make almost no noise at all at 6psi. my $0.02

 

thanks for the input needed some reasurance

 

Results?
