I need to do something about my boost creep!

I'd like to go with a O2 housing external gate set up, but don't want to sacrifice my dip stick or power steering.

I found this piece on Ebay and could use so opinions...

THANKS

Any draw backs to this big of a waist gate? 46mm...

And that's just one of many sites that basically say the same thing, stay away from Ebay junk.

If you have boost creep, port the turbine and O2 housings.

Agreed -- it is crap.

You have a 16G with a 3" downpipe/test pipe, and a 2.5" catback. There is no need for an external wastegate with your setup yet. Are you still using a 1G O2 housing?

It would be in your best interests to port your turbine housing and O2 housing. For more information on how to do these things, go to www.vfaq.com, or do a search on this forum.
