Im looking at some of the waste gates on ebay, im doing a low budget ka-t and ive come across a waste gate with 100 persent good feed back it looks like a tial but its a knock off should it be ok? oh and have any of u noticed that your egr on your intake mani is a waste gate? i wonder if it would work ?

 

dont be getto it will only blow your car up theres a reason why a real tial is 200-300 $ cuz the cheap stuff breaks i wouldnt take my chances on sumthing that could fail and plus whan you get a tial your not only getting a great wastegate your getting peace of mind

 

i heard the ebay wastegate will get stuck and make you overboost= damage, The feedback is probably because people leave it when they recieve the item. way before the insall it and try it and is too late for them to complaint about it. As far as the EGR valve i never heard some shit like that being used as a wastegate.

 

yea they're mostly right. its kinda one of those areas where you want to spend the money. pinch your pennies on intercooler, pipes, and bov. splurge on the wastegate

 

well my budy had one and i bought it like 30 minutes ago a brand new knock off tial for 50 bucks i figure ill keep it on 3 pounds and, if it dosent go bad in a month then it should be fine becus its has taken the abuse of heat and pruved itself wirthy and plus on low boost like that if it spikes i have a better chance of catching it at like 8 pounds compared to like 20 if i was running 8 or so u know what i mean

 

Call me cheap, call me ghetto, I have used the ebizzle knock off tial for 2 years now. It works flawlessly under the most extreme conditions high heat, high boost, and high power.

 

^ kevin that would be the 2nd person that said go for it. use the 3.75lb spring. and be cautious for spiking/creep. after a month (should have found problem by then) put whatever spring you want in it and go!

 

i have it and it looks like it should be fine but i thing it has a five pound spring, i may be buying some springs off u dave. If the knock off runns good on your car tim then it will defenetly run fine on my 9 pounds thanks.
