Help with wastgate.

Does any one know who makes this wastegate? It looks like a HKS but it doesn't have any of the markings. I guess it'a a good knock off or maybe an older version of the HKS?

The guy I traded with doesn't know anything about the kit he had or anything for that matter every time I ask him anything he has to ask his mechanic. LUCKY ME ,RIGHT? He got this wastegate from 99_lightning and I haven't had any luck with getting in touch with him so I can ask him. It says it a 50mm thats all I know.

THANKS FOR THE HELP.

That would be the Ebay HKS knock off you have. If your looking for a good gate, Tial and Turbosmart are the only two I use...

i had a turbosmart - it was awful, looked identical to a tial but the bladder inside blew up during my dyno tuning session.

i run a tial and love it!

Yea I am running into all kinds of issues. I traded with a KID on here that said he had a complete turbo kit, all name brand stuff but come to find out once I got it all in it was all look a likes (come to find out he has no clue what anything is). It seems he took pics of stuff at the right angle to make it look right but not close enough to be able to tell what it is so I got fuc**d. If shi* doesn't get solved fast I will post up pics of the pipes that has holes in them and the rest of the crap that is wrong with this KIT. It's been going on for two months now and I still don't have all the pipe from him.

TRUST ME BROTHERS I WIL DEF KEEP YOU POSTED AND LET YOU KNOW WHO SO YA'LL DON'T HAVE THE SAME ISSUES WITH THIS GUY.

Damn man that sucks. I hope it all works out for you. As far as wastegates go, stick with Tial. I'm running a 60mm and it works great.

Yea def an ebay I seen it on there can't mistake it. Well the kid def ****ed me he posted it was all name brand stuff and it wasn't. Only the bov was worth a $hit which he claimed he paid 500 for but was stupid enough to leave the invoice in the box which shows 250. The pipe he had someone weld up for him had holes and I could put a needle through the pipe hell I shinned a light in the pipe and you could see the light come through. He won't be a man and make it right on his end so I will post up pics of everything and what he claimed it was in his thread. Hopefully ya'll won't get screwed by this kid either.
