Default TurboTech wastegate question

I'm upgrading in this kit. Ditching the intercooler and getting a Griffin, 3 in. downpipe, and T76 turbo. I was thinking about getting the Tial 38mm wastegate to replace the crappy deltagate that came with this kit. The flange looks the same, will it bolt on?

if it has a bigger valve or required tube then my guess would be no

reason your switching this out is you want better flow right.
i could be wrong though as i dont know for sure.

i was getting about a 2-3psi spike, didnt last long, but neither how long it took to get to redline.
never got any knock with the spike either.

i definatly need a new wastegate, but my funds are always tied up with something else.
i might even try two delta gates if i could get on cheap cheap.

yeah,
I am guessing that I am going to be getting some spike with my t-70 TTi kit.

I am planning on converting to a twin turbo kit later this year or early next. so I am trying to start getting parts. like the wastegate. I am going to make the other side the same size and what not of the TTi one, so need wastegate and other materils.

thanks let me know the price

QMP has a bolt on replacement for the Deltagate but I never asked what make it was. I think he said it was about $250??
