I don't understand. Can you not measure the diameter of the inlet hole?

Here's some info :

http://www.turbonetics.com/catalog/wastegate.html

You can also pull the spring out to see what colour is on it which will let you what psi it is, I got this wastegate a few week's ago for $80nz and it's brand new, Not bad i thought, 9psi adjustable to 13psi :

Thank you very much for replying.
That pic is exactly what I have!.The only thing about this wasteagte that I don't like is the weight and flange.But If I have to run it,I will.
I am building a setup on a TII engine that entails a T04Z,3 inch downpipe.
The engine is run by a Haltech Plat1000 with RC750/1000's (Stage 3 BNR Turbo right now).
I am tossing ID 1000/2000's on to compensate fuel when I switch over to the T04Z.
my "idea" on a Wastegate is a 44mm or bigger,so that Turbonetics is a close call.

Im in the same vote as you, I dont like the flange or the weight/size but will use it if need be because it was a real cheap buy and it will do the job, Id prefer a tial 44mm wastegate, Its half the size/weight and better flange, Will wait and see what happens, My set up will be on a TII block, ID injectors, Micro, Bosch pump, High flow stock turbo, Custom manifold in a first gen. Let us no if you use it and how it goes ... Cheers.
