V band external gate Question?

[fwdeclipse]

Hey guys I have a punishment 02 housing set up external off the 02housing. Its for a 44mm v band. I dont have the cash to buy a tial v band right now and found these 60mm v band from ebay for 100 bucks. My question is where the gate mounts is that where its 44mm or whatever. Would the 60mm bolt up also. Basically im asking if they all have the same flange. Sorry if this is a dumb question just never had a v band wastegate.

They have different mounting flanges, and are dramatically different in size.

Save up your money and purchase a quality TiAL 44mm V-band wastegate -- it is not worth having a cheap Ebay one fail on you and have $100 wasted on junk. New TiAL 44mm wastegates are usually around $300-350, while you can find used ones around $200 -- there are some on Ebay right now.

If you look closely at OTHER Ebay Auctions, you would realize that SSAutoChrome is junk, and they already have auctions to sell you replacement diaphrams for their wastegates as they WILL FAIL.

Yeah I figured it would not work. Damn if I could find a used one for 200 I would be all over it, none are for sell and the cheapest new one i have seen is 360.

ebay -- right now, there is a TiAL 44mm wastegate, used, but with no mileage on it -- $200.00
