Default Thoughts on this wastegate?

Looking for you thoughts on this wastegate for my GT42 setup
http://www.jgstools.com/turbo/50bmg.html


Introducing our latest wastegate, the JGS 50BMG!
Product Features-

* Silicone O-ring and piston type actuator- For long cycle life and easy track side repair if needed.
* 2" V-band connections- For 2" OD pipes and tubing (1.875" ID). Includes clamps and flanges
* 50mm SS valve- Big enough for even the largest turbochargers holding low boost
* All CNC machined construction- For style and excellent tolerances
* Externally clock able pressure ports- For ease of installation
* 3 Series SS valve housing- For excellent corrosion resistance
* Cast iron valve guide- For very high exhaust temps and anti-seizing properties

(pre-anodized unit shown for detail)

Made in the USA, not another cheaply made imported copy!

Engineered, Tested, Machined, and Assembled here at JGS Precision Turbo.

Built to survive over 1 million full cycles on a single set of o rings at boost pressures of 40-50+ps


About $349
