eBay wastegate
, I just do not trust that Chinese garbage off of ebay when it comes to my turbo or supercharger system.

I have seen a couple hang open and cause low boost issues. Also seen them tear diaphragms and cause overboost issues. You do not see these issues with Tial or Turbosmart though. This is just solely based on what I have actually seen, not read on the interwebs.

This was a common issue I read about from my DSM days. When your 16 and on a $7.00 hour job, just "getting it to just work" is one thing. Bottom line though, it's not one of those parts a turbo built to cut a corner on. I'd rather china the BOV before the waste gate.

I'm running an ebay knock off gate, works great so far, boost is solid at 8psi and have yet to see any boost spikes or other issues.
Only problem was I originally got the 4-7psi adjustable gate and could only get it to go as low as 8psi, seller gave me a new spring, same deal 8psi. So I just run 8psi now
Seller name was Wyntonm

I'm thinking Rick wouldn't put ebay parts in his kits if they weren't any good...
