Tial. I have been running it for a few years with no issues.
IMO a wastegate is the last place you want to go cheap, its the last thing protecting your motor.
Also a side note. run a SS line for your wastegate. Rubber lines can get torn, expand, or melt, and can leak which will cause an over boost. SS lines can be had for about $30 and is a great additional safety feature

NOT TO THREAD JACK BUT.
I was thinking about using a wastegate on the charge pipe on an SC install. To be used in conjunction witht eh Emanage Ultimate as an EBC.
This wategate wont be mounted to a turbo so the heat exposure should be minimal. I was thinking about one of those tial knock off ones. And if it fails... any experience with these knock off?

Great suggestion on the wastegate line, too many people overlook a simple part like that, but it can lead to major problems.
