Does anyone else have a HKS external wastegate? if so, did yours start to get a lil rusty like mine. Whats a safe way to clean it up? Thanks guys.

I would imagine a little polishing up would help.

Wire brush or wire wheel fine grit on a grinder will do wondes to that. Then paint it with high heat paint. VHT caliper paint in a great choice withstands mega heat.

We painted stainless turbo manifolds with that paint on hondas and it held up to the heat no problem. Went gold at first then back to silver really cool stuff. If you get all the rust off with a fine grit wire wheel on a grinder and paint it with that stuff it will be good to go.
