Flynn Posted August 9, 2017 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
Flynn Posted August 9, 2017 Author Posted August 9, 2017 lol I'm literally looking into this now, would defo be an option. Tial or turbo smart is my next question? Quote
wakeabby14 Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 Tial mate tested and true. Just get a new one from TD or Idworkz if you dont get sorted! Too many fakes about to buy second hand. I run a geniun tial one cant fault it come in good colours to if you have a colour scheme Quote
maddox710 Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 Plenty of fake turbosmart to beware of the cons Quote
Starlet__SR Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 Just buy a four bolt from turbo dynamics. Quote
Starlet__SR Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 I'm sure you can buy a 4 bolt wastegate Quote
Ollieh17 Posted August 9, 2017 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
TrisK Posted August 9, 2017 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
