Default Will 38mm Wastegate fit 35mm flange?

Hey guys, need to know if that will work. My wastegate took a shit on me and I need a new one.

PS: DO NOT buy Stone Mountain Racing wastegates (marketed by SSAutoChrome), they are shit. Mine blew the diaphram within 3 weeks.

N/M I was going to delete this post but figured I would leave it in case anyone else wanted to know. The 35mm and 38mm wastegates will bolt onto the same flange.

As a response to my POS wastegate I just purchased a new Turbonetics Evolution gate. Thing I like most about it (havn't recieved it yet) but the line doesn't use those stupid bolts with the holes in them to connect to the wastegate which are a pain in the ass to line up, it uses just barbed fittings.

sorry to hear about your misfortune, but if you would have done a search on stone mountain you would have found that out, cheaper is never better.

^ This is true. This was a budget turbo setup and I was building it as cheap as possible where I could. I figured a wastegate is a wastegate, how much better can one be compared to the next, well....I think we know now.
