I recently purchase a ERL T3 exhaust manifold and I'm now undecided on what wastegate to use. I'm currenly on a DDP made T3 tubular manifold/HKS standard wastegate(old school) and boost is controlled via Profec B specII. I`m thinking of switching to either the old 38mm Tial or the new 38mm Tial MVS.
Here's my dilemma...
I'm tempted to use the HKS wastegate because it is solid and has never given me any problems. Boost holds and no creep/bleed. Only downfall for the new setup would be a new ss flange and modifying(maybe cutting the L-shaped motor mount bracket) for it to fit. I would guess total cost with the welding...under $100.
My other option is the Tial gates. The older version Tial is a direct bolt on because of the hardware it came with. The only extra money I would have to spend is on the dumptube and to have it welded...$250 total? The MVS would probably be another $30 extra.
Now, would changing wastegates affect the settings of my Profec? I love the boost controller but it is a PIA to mess with. Would cutting the "L" mount have any negative affects? Anyone have any problems with Tial products(I've heard mixed reviews)? Obviously, like a lot of people...saving money would be a beautiful thing. But I also dont want any headaches in the long run.
What would you guys do?
