Im getting my evo within the next couple of weeks but im not sure if I should keep my wastegate or sell it. I know forge wastegates are awesome but I think the stock boost for an 8 is 19 pounds? Im not quite sure I did alot of research but I keep getting different numbers.

I was going to use the money as more of a down payment on the car but then again im not sure what should I do?

 

Personally I think the forge wg sucks. Mine has given me nothing but trouble the last couple of months. So ya if I was you I would definately sell it. Its actually probably what im fixing to do with mine or toss it in the trash.

 

wow, i have only good things to say about my forge wg. the bov on the other hand sucks dick lol. also the 8s stock boost does spike to 19 then tapers off to about 17 but thats from the bcs. the stock wastegate is 12lbs i believe.

awdordie, what kind of problems are you having?

 

For the past year I've constantly had boost problems. Somehow the wg arm keeps coming loose and I have to turn it down half a turn. Here recently it has to be readjusted every other day and I have ran out of threads to turn it in. I removved the locking nut to get a couple more turns and got them to send a rebuild kit. Surprisingly it didn't come with a spring and I have yet to take the wg apart to see what the deal is but I at least expected it to have a spring. And of course once the wg flapper gets the slightest play in it the car has no response spools slow doesn't idle correctly and leaks from the dump pipe and sounds like I havve a cutout.

 

ive had mine for over three years 15k miles... made one adjustment since ive owned it.
was retuned today @ 451/398 E85 bbkfull and the forge WG was doing its job
