Giving an opinion on waste gates and BOVs is most likely going to **** people off. For some reason, these seem like some deeply personal choice and an opinion in disagreement with another is tantamount to insulting their mother or wee-weeing in their favorite breakfast cereal. So!

I prefer Turbosmart. Made in Australia and far better quality than some of the junk I've run in the past. No problems and no worries!

Sorry if I pissed in your cheerios.

Thanks I've heard good things about turbo smart. $250 and you see all these $50 dollar ones and I was thinking dang what's the difference. But That is to big of a what if.

Turbosmart 60mm here. Tial 60mm would be my other choice. kind of dicey using ebay wastegates on forged motor setup, when lots of money are invested into an engine setup. IMOP
