Default What wastegate is this a knockoff of?

Trying to find an 8lb spring for this wastegate and wondering what gate this is a knockoff of. This gate is pretty compact so getting a doing for something else results in coil bind before full opening.

prob wont work. I have used both including the Vs trial knockoff. The wyntom is it’s own breed. For wyntoms 60mm they sell an extra 3 peice spring kit that ups psi to 15+psi.

haha honestly its prob better that way. I just checked and the same spring says its only for the 60mm version only. I have used random ebay WG springs in my 38mm Wyntom WG thats on my bike. The only thing is the height makes a difference. The wyntom uses the same style flange as the tial and tial knockoffs I believe. You could just buy another gate or you could just swap to a VS tial knockoff etc and that way you can buy tial replacement parts to make it just as good for the most part.

that’s funny. I emailed them twice. No response. Then I ordered another wastegate from them with a different spring. It had a bent valve. Emailed again. No response. I get pissed. I send them a not so nice message letting them know I’m going to do everything I can to get my money back and make them look bad on the forums if they didn’t answer. That got their attention. So after their reply, I apologized but explained I didn’t like being ignored and that was bad business. Hopefully I made an impact. But I doubt it. I do like their wastegates tho.
