Why cheap out on something as critical as a wastegate, last thing you need is to have a wastegate failure and blow yet another motor. | ||

+1 I have the same wastegate in my STI and it has worked flawlessly. They run this wastegate in the Element Tuning time attack car and never have seen an issue. | ||

so what your saying is a brand name wastegate has NEVER failed in all of history? not even possible for a bad batch? gee thanks, okay cool.... there are forms of over boost protection... i hope you know... even with a brand name wastegate i would not place all my trust in it just because it has a brand name. there's a difference between buying wisely and buying advertised stuff that works because everyone says it works. so i buy a precision wastegate right? even though they OUTSOURCE all their parts from china now? turbos, wastegates, etc etc.... but it's okay right? because it's a brand name. | ||

Snooping as usual Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,780 Member No.: 32,588 Joined: Apr 13th 2009 Location: what are you doing in my swamp? | I've got a Tial wastegate. Woudn't run anything else. And just so you know, my boost-signal hose is braided stainless, so it won't melt. I've heard of that happening with rubber hoses. Then they hit 80psi boost and the head gasket comes flying out. |

You know a steel braided hose will still melt just like a rubber hose would, the only advantage to steel braided is it keeps the hose from ballooning out under high pressure.

Not just like rubber. PTFE melts a lot higher than pretty much any rubber I've ever seen. It'll certainly take a lot more heat then the rubber that is traditionally used for vacuum hoses. I guess silicone vacuum hoses would hold up to more heat than whatever is stock, but you don't get the bonus thermal reflectivity that stainless provides. I guess you could wrap your silicone in gold leaf... If you're going to have a loose hose bouncing around near a hot exhaust manifold, I think a stainless hose is a perfectly worthwhile investment. Mine came with the turbo kit. | ||

ShiMACHaze Group: Advanced Members Posts: 19,542 Member No.: 5,394 Joined: Feb 5th 2005 Location: Drydock | Semantics. "Just like a rubber hose, a steel braided hose will melt." The point was that a braided hose isn't some steel indestructible hardware, it has a core of PTFE (which does melt!) and the braided steel surrounding it can be weakened to speed that process. The point wasn't that it worked at the same temperature, the point was that the hose is not magic and invulnerable. |

And it likely will be. There's really not much need for braided vacuum lines, most high boost setups that would otherwise warrant them delete 90% of that crap anyway. Standard rubber is fine. | ||

honestly i would love braided hose on my engine bay JUST for appearance they look so sick when you open the hood. it's really a eye catcher, but thats about it. kinda like the whole silicone vs rubber radiator hose thing haha. | ||
