Default Turbonetics Deltagate

What are you opinions on these? I have heard that the seal between the diaphram and the rod wears out.. and leaks boost.

look i will save you the trouble of thinking. DONT get a deltagate, if you get one for free, DO NO USE IT! they are crap. when i had it on my car, it always had boost creep, then it gave out, somehow it gave out and my boost shot to 40psi and my motor blew. it is just not worth it. everyone i know useed to tell me i need to get rid of it, i should have listened, i learned the hard way. just get a Tial 35mm or 38mm, those work awesome. so you make the choice.

I'm buying an HKS standard. From what I have seen most Deltagates are crap but I have yet to hear about the Deltagate Mark II.
