Extenal Wastegates Options

[elvasoshexai]

ok.. so the wastegate actuator on my ct20b is fubared.. i get boost creep like crazi...

i was going to get an external wastegate to replace it and weld the internal one shut.

i just hv a question about size.

i was planning on getting a tial 38mm w/ either .5(7.252psi) or .6(8.702psi) bar... i hv an mbc and plan to run probably 10psi neway tho...

however, the shop my car is at, a customer has a 48mm wastegate but wants a 38mm and he said that customer is asking if i want the 48mm turbosmart wastegate in exchange for a tial 38mm...

i'm assuming 38mm is a good size for a 5sfte...

would i b better off w/ the tial 38mm or the turbosmart 48mm?
the 48mm seems kinda big... i'd possibly get a lot of lag?
not sure what other pros/cons there would be between the 2?

any help? thnx

Yea.. I mean whats the point of an EBC really.. It keeps you from overboosting in different temperature conditions and it gives you the ease of setting and forgetting.. not to mention all the extra readings that some of them display and being able to have a low boost and high boost setting or even using an extremely low boost wastegate spring so you can pretty much disable boost when you want to with out having to get out of the car and take a guess when you turn the knob on that stone age device they call a manual boost controller.

Silly product if you ask me.
