What budgets 44mm wastegate a has everyone had good luck with? Also, keep in mind eBay is out for me, no account. I've seen a couple of tial mvr style knockoffs.

I'm pretty sure I need to go with a 44mm gate. Gonna run a 7875 turbo on a 5.3 with an auto. Wanting to run only 10psi on a street tune, turn it up for the track. Can I get away with a 38? Placement is on a log, right before the t4 flange.

I bought a couple emusa 44's, I'm not pleased with the sealing/vband quality. They will work

As long as you are not on leaded fuel, the EMUSA wastegates are great.

I've had good luck with the EMUSA and the VS gates.

The VS is a bit nicer and comes with all stainless components. The spring seat thing and flange that cam with my EMUSA gates were not stainless and got very rusty.

I'm running twin Wynntom 44mm gates. After chasing a non related boost creep issue, i was actually able to machine the setup to the same specs as a Precision 46mm gate

I can make a full 1/4 pass at 5psi with a V2 race cover billet s480

What kind of "budget"?

A china gates a china gate IMO. The vendor selling it doesn't really matter. quality control is hit or miss with all of them. Take them all apart initially, inspect,lap, lube and reassemble with loctite. They they tend to work reasonably well if you do.

I did a write-up on here a while back where I took a cheap china 44mm gate and put a true Tial 44mm diaphragm in it for $40.

I had luck with the Wyntonm gates a while back. Also used a no name knock off from ebay (44mm) that lasted 4 years and never gave me an issue. i also never disassembled and lubed or anything. I was very very happy. It was like 80 bucks shipped at the time (8-10 years ago)

I have EMUSA gates on my car but had some trouble with one sticking open at times last year. Took it apart, lubed it, etc., and it would work for a bit. They've been on the car for a couple of years though so I can't complain too much.
