With tons of word-of-mouth and first hand experiences floating around these and other boards, the Deltagate just sucks and is not what I would call quality. Most people report boost creep after a few months of usage and even the wastegate just not responding anymore (broken).

Just stick with TiAL. I have NEVER heard anything bad about the TiAL WGs. I dunno what the deal is here. People keep asking: what WG should I get? Is the Deltagate good? Which is the best for the money? etc and the resounding answer everytime is JUST SAVE YOURSELF A HASSLE AND GET A TIAL! TELL YOUR FRIENDS!

Not you specifically, because it seems you dont know, but there are people that SHOULD know by now.

TiAL should be the standard external WG for KA-Ts by now. Should have a sticky =) All these kits using the Deltagate, most likely to keep costs down, are just confusing people.

i've heard that turbonetics has redesigned the deltagate, and they are much more reliable now.

regardless, i would still put my money on a tial.
