What do you mean by clean up? Casting flash clean up or brake cleaner clean up? Asking because i'm doing a budget turbo build, looking into On3 stuff cuz it's budget friendly lol

Pretty sure with all the cheaper wastegates is keeping steady boost at lower levels and making sure there is not spiking. Materials will be cheaper than good name brands so wont last as long. Also any material breaks from heat cycling theres only one place for it to go. Rather spend few hundred or couple hundred more to ensure your turbos health.
