I really like TiAL wastegates. Work very well and decently priced.

NowBoosting

Tial sounds like the one you need for your budget.

Just don't go Deltagate. How much HP are you planning on pushing?

i'm hoping 300
my dream is 500.........hehe...but i want to progress slowly and feel the changes...

i just checked it.........
they are so expensive.....
is there any stock cars i can rip a wastegate off?
i'm building a junkyard turbo kit...
i'm more into performance right now....can't afford show...

NowBoosting

Although piecing together your own kit is the way to go, you can't go cheap on everything. You get what you pay for. If you want performance, you're gonna have to sacrifice to pay for at least some good stuff.

so you guys recommend the tial?
should i wait and buy a used one?

be how much boost can these wastegates support?

NowBoosting

The wastegate can support whatever boost level you want to run. For higher boost you simply need to change the spring inside. Not sure how the Tial spring rates go but the HKS one starts with a .8 bar spring and then increase.

Of course having a boost controller will negate you having to change the spring but it always advised to have the spring changed to suit the amount of boost you are running.

You really should go to Honda-tech.com to do some more research in their Forced Induction forum. You can get great info from them as well.

ok.....do you think i should get the t3/t4 turbo or should i wait and get another turbo with internal wastegate?

I hate to say it, but being cheap in your goal of 300whp is gonna get you nowhere but a toasted motor. If you can't afford the parts now, save up.

imported_streetXtreme

ok...so my choices now are TiAL
is that the only one that is cheap and works good?
or are there any more??

The other commonly-used wastegates on the market are quite expensive. Deltagates are crap, and Greddy/HKS units are expensive.

Your other option is to just buy a turbo with an internal wastegate. Some of them will creep depending on your setup.
