Help picking a wastegate

Looks very similar to my manifold - I believe you can get an HKS 40mm/50mm wastegate - or a knock-off on eBay, which is what I did (was a dud, so I got a different one)
Or get the flange changed to suit whatever wastegate you want
OR what I ended up doing was getting an adapter plate made up to bolt the new wastegate to the manifold without changing the flange.
Just a few ideas

Yea, i was thinking about going the ebay route but i hate to put the life of my motor on some piece of shit knock-off wastegate. It looks like HKS makes an adapter to go from there 4 bolt flange to a v-band. Is that what you got?

Whats up Julio?? You think i should stay away from the 40mm or from the HKS wastegates all together. I would like to use that adapter but i think $800 dollars for a wastegate is pretty crazy, although my motor cost $3500 so i guess it's not a bad investment.
n/m man, i've actually good and bad experience with ebay wastegates maybe brian has told u. I'm using a 44mm real tial and its great...steady boost. Maybe you should look into the same. Maybe you can even use something like this...

or weld on a new flange.

That adapter looks pretty sweet, and $25 is alot better then $125 from HKS. It looks like the Tial 41mm wastegate might fit. Do you know if it uses the same flange as the 40?? I can't find a good pic, or any documentation anywhere.

No I got a 4-bolt to a 2-bolt adapter made up. I'm now running a 38mm KKR wastegate (I gather not many of you US boys have heard of KKR, but they are a pretty good brand) and it works great. Has a 6 month replacement warranty too
which by the way cost me AUD270. So yes, spending $800 on a wastegate is stupid and unnecessary, IMO.FYI the eBay HKS knock-offs are hit and miss, some people run them for ages with no probs. Mine happened to be a miss... :3d_frown:

Got mine locally new for 325
I wouldn't bother with an adapter piece for the flange, just get the flange that comes with the tial and have them weld it on there so everything is how it should be
