Default Watesgate options?

I'm going with a different hotside set-up that has a flange for a Turbosmart 48mm Racegate. Is this my only option for a wastegate? Do different manufacturers use the same flange for thier wastegates of similliar sizes?

I think we have an adapter to fit the new Turbosmart 50 on the Turbosmart 48mm flange if I remember correctly.

Lol, thanks.

If you dont believe me, just ask the sponsors...

Jose @ ForcedInductions
Josh @ KYTP

Infact, Jose has flow tested the JGS, TS, Tial, Etc. He will tell you what outperforms the rest.

Unfortunately most manufactures do use WG specific flanges. So you have to run their gate. We are going to CNC some adapters in the future to be able to allow customers to convert from brand to brand.

Thank you DrTurbo. That was the answer I was searching for. Didn't know if I had any other options or not based on the flange on my hot-parts. Again, just looking for options. Turbosmart it is.
