Default For those that have asked about Turbosmarts new 50mm Gate....inside
I know alot of you guys have purchased ALOT of progate 48's from us over the years. To answer your question the new 50mm gate is interchangeable. You will not need to swap flanges for this gate. Direct info is below....and still uses the lead resistant MA valves.



35% lighter, 20% smaller, 25% more flow

Redesigned from the ground-up, the new Pro-Gate50 features a new, smaller and lighter body with improved flow path and temperature resistance. Shielded diaphragm housing ensures excellent heat handling capabilities while a one-piece high-temp stainless steel valve provides strength and reliability.

The new Pro-Gate50 is competitively priced to provide enthusiasts with a great value-for-money factor and is available in blue and black (Sleeper) models

We are working on CNC'ing custom conversion flanges if they don't have adapter flanges. All units are avialble in black. Turbosmart is coming out with ALOT of new stuff this year....the stuff we spoke to them about is going to be AWESOME.

Thanks for the info I am having a little trouble holding my 8psi street setting with my tial 44mm. It likes to creep to 10lbs in third gear.

Would be nice not to have to send the hotside out to the coaters again

Yes the new 50mm will line up with the old 48mm flange pattern and flanges.
