Flynn Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 So after months of saving for a genuine SARD wastegate RHD Japan have just emailed to say they are unavailable despite being advertised on their website (and after taking my money I should ad!) Pretty gutted as I've been holding out, car off the road because I wanted to keep my kit genuine JDM but that's now not an option. So my question is really, what would people suggest as an alternative? It's a K24 turbo and Sard manifold. The wastegate I wanted had the option of a 0.5 or 0.8 spring and was square plate 4 bolt fitment (I assume I'll now need someone to cut up my kit to change flange?)Fucked me off beyond belief. Was reluctantly spending nearly £500 (with import costs) to keep my kit legit as it's in brilliant condition with a freshly rebuilt K24.Any help greatly received Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Starlet__SR Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I'm sure you can buy a 4 bolt wastegate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Sure you can get 4 bolt to hand adapters. Tial or turbosmart, nothing in it.beware of fakes for either of them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I'd get an adapter made rather than cutting up a sard kit. Just in case you come across a wastegate down the road Quote Link to post Share on other sites
