Forced performance 28psi wga

I just saw this on their site. I might be in the market for a new wga. My fp 25psi is acting up. Does anybody have some insight on this product?

Not much to say really. it's the same thing as your 25psi wga only this has a stiffer spring.

I wouldn't touch a FP wga with a long pole. My 25psi one snapped off where the shaft is attached to the body, the threaded section at that point is about 3mm across. The best case scenario if this happens means you loose all boost pressure and at worst you get massive overboost. I went to a 26 psi Turbosmart one which is about 10 times as good, quality wise.

+1 on the TurboSmart WG. Had a FP 18psi WG on a customer's come off it's base causing a loud clicking/clunking sound when BCS is opening and closing. 2nd FP WG failure. Although my personal FP 18 WG is doing great.

+1 For the FP 25psi wastegate working great for the 3+ years I had it on my old FPRed. Got it dialed in on the dyno and it held boost great.
