So my turbo engine arrived and upon inspection I find the wastegate is SHOT. I am planning on a "mild" 2809-300 h.p. engine using bolt ons for the most part. My question is should I opt for a tial or lindsey wastegate or just replace it with a stocker?? Used stock one can be had for under 100.00 whereas the others $$$$$$ What is the advantage to the $$ ones other than less boost blown off? Aside from that problem the engine supposedly has 86,000 miles, I turned it over by hand (socket) and it has GOOD compression. I will be checking it for leakdown later this week or next. VERY clean but not cleaned. Where is that fingers crossed smilie (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Go with what you can afford or wish to do with the car, if you plan on improving on it, a new wastegate looks to be a start in the right direction.

QUOTE(73Phoenix20 @ Jul 22 2007, 07:45 AM)  Lindsey Racing Adjustable Wategate... IF you want to see 300 ponies... Yeah that's pretty much what I have decided on. They actually sell their dual port wastegate and a 3" exhaust kit for about a grand. That allows me to upgrade the turbo to a 26/8,chip,intake,adjustable fuel pressure etc. and do some other small upgrades. I'm figuring around 300 at the wheels.

I knew 951s were pretty rock'n, but nearly 3K HP with bolt ons is pretty awesome!

Lindsey is a good choice, but Tial 38mm DP wastegate with the SFR adapter cant be beat
