I just wanted to share with everyone. I was in need of a new wastegate about a month or so ago so i figured i would try the ebay wastegate. heck if it craped out then i was only out 50. But the thing is the one i bought does have a nomex diaphram. and i have been useing it for a month or more and works great. drove on the stock spring for a while and now i hooked up my boost controller and is on 15. the only thing is, it says on the auction that it has an 8lb spring. well it was hitting 10lbs. but o well. Im not trying to say there the best or anything, i just wanted to share my opinion.

most of them come with the 10# sprng, rarely 8..but they are good for what they are and get the job done

ive built 3 turbo kits with ebay junk parts and all have worked great and the people i sold them too enjoyed them for many miles without fault.

They work well, BUT just keep in mind, there is 2 things with a wastegate.
1. Control the PSI pressure (does very well from what we hear)
2. The wastegate by pass must flow well, to keep the turbulance down, getting more effecient and more HP.....
So not knowing to much about them, we wont say much, other than to keep in mind about possible HP loss compared to IF you would purchase a Tial, or Turbonetics....
