The GT series WG are not affected, but the standard and race WG's prices are all cut.

Yea go figure. Never fails. Always happens AFTER I purchase something THEN the price drops. I just bought a 50mm S/S a month ago.

update, I just finished 50 some odd dyno pulls using the 50mm SSAC WG, and it worked perfectly. I was able to hold any boost I wanted. end result 506.55 RWHP &387 ftlbs of torque at 25psi
See ya, Carl

carl,
happy new year and once again congrats for the high HP numbers. Nevertheless, I was wondering if you still have those waste springs from when you purchased your ss auto chrome 50mm wastegate? If so, are you willing to parts with the yellow spring? I beileve that it`s the 10 psi (spring rating) If so, how much shipped to Florida, 33496?
You can send it via USPS
Let me know,
Andre

If you can't afford a PROPER wastegate, then maybe you shouldn't be modding the car....

All I have to say about the 50mm hks knockoff is that it really sketched me out and I decided to get a real one. I bought a brand new turbo and manifold from someone and he threw in the knockoff wastegate, which was supposed to be new, but I noticed that:
build quality was ****. it was in fact new, but the threads for the NPT pressure ports were complete **** and had to be retapped. Fitment was also horrible on the HKS undivided log in the sense that it bumped into my downpipe. Now I'm not sure if the real HKS 50mm would be so ungainly looking but I decided I needed the real thing. Also the spring in mine was too stiff... I put like 14psi through it and it still wouldn't open, and I didn't have any other springs with it, so I just canned it.
If you guys can get it to work for you, more power to you. But I had already bought all new genuine parts (HKS, Garrett, Greddy, etc) and I wasn't about to risk having the one knockoff part blow my motor.

I sold my genuine HKS 50mm for a ebay 50mm. Both in which have 10psi springs.
My boost was always spiking with both wastegates... I`m sure my boost controller was setup correctly.
Nonetheless, I eliminated the controller and it sill spikes... must be a sticking valve. I`m using an genuine HKS FD manifold.
Anyone has any other ideas?
