Evo IX Wastegate Replacement
Well Im now coming to 5000 miles on my Evo IX MR. Needless to say my baby has lived a hard first part of its life 
I tightened my wastegate all the way down to hold boost, which work really good for about 6 months. Then just took a crap on me. I knew there was a chance that this would happen, but I did it anyways.
Pulled off a 12.22 @ 110mph last April with just a TBE, MBC, ECU Flash, and The Wastegate Mod
So all and all, im not upset to have to now have to buy a new Wastgate.
Heres my question:
There are 3 Wastegates for sure I could buy. 4 if you count a custom Tial set-up.
Option 1, buy a stock wastegate $145ish
Option 2, wait while Forge take their sweet time and buy theirs whenever it comes out $190ish
Option 3, buy Garage HRS/CyberEvo upgrated wastegate $200ish....?
Option 4, Tial 38mm wastegate custom set-up lot of work not alot of gain $500+
Just looking for some opinions, Vendors please chime in if you can get any of the wastegates for me
Thanks,
~Jb

the arm of the wastgate is adjustable lossen the nut on the end of the arm and you can adjust it as much as you need, as far as horsepower I guess you could make more throughout powerband because the boost wont taper as much
