Hi,

I'm seriously considering, in fact ready to order my turbo and wastegate but I thought I'd ask you boys for your opinion before I commit myself.

The turbo is a precision SC-52, 0.63A/R 76 trim T3/4, c/w T350 compressor.

But I'm unsure about the Wastegate, I was considering the TiAl 38mm offering.Would this WG be up to the job of controlling the boost of this turbo @ 2 bar? Or would the 38mm be a bit marginal?What spring rate should I choose, I will be controlling it with an Apexi AVCR.

Finally I was planning on ordering from Import Palace (http://64.49.247.187/) does anyone know anything about them, has anyone used them? Not being local (>3000miles away) I'd feel happier dealing with someone with a sound reputation.

Can anyone offer any alternative companies I should try?

Many thanks, :)Jezz.

i might go with a 42mm wastegate if you are at all skeptical. im not sure on the spring, someone else is gonna have to help you on that. as for import palace, i have never heard of them (i think) and cant help you there either. good luck though!
