Default JGS Wastegate and BOV

Is anyone here running these? How are they working for you? I just bought the JGS 500(50mm)wastegate, and the JGS 560 BOV. I know this is a "rice" question, but anyone have video of the BOV on your car?! haha

I have the JGS wastegates I am not sure if you can hear them in this video but you can try. I did not have my BOV on the piping yet..... MY wastegates are vented to atmosphere also!

I just listened to the video's and you can not really hear anything other then the turbos!

I had a friend that had a wastegate and bov, and they were not really that good. I think he sent the wastegate back 3 times to get the valve replaced, because it did not seal?

I had a decent run of them up until they re-tooled. I got sick of waiting for them to deliver. I am back with TurboSmart at the shop unless otherwise specified by the customer.

I've purchased alot of stuff from JGS and they will stand behind their products, if you have a problem let them know. They build their stuff in house.

Another member on here we worked with to get him a gate warrantied as well. One of the big 60's was leaking. No company makes a perfect product.....difference is will they stand behind them. Lance will stand behind what he makes.

I am not knocking JGS. I never had any issue personaly. I just Prefer the TurboSmart products over JGS.

I am sure you will be fine with your units.
