Default Banks Big Head Wastegate

I was just curious how the banks big head wastegate performs on a scale of 1-10. Is it worth the money and can you feel a difference in driving or towing?

Google the "turbomaster"

its just like the Banks unit, but cheaper and easier to ajust. I have had both and prefer the turbomaster.

ok? What do you want to know? You can do the same thing with the stock unit, If you want to pay $200 bucks for the Banks one, go for it...

Or you can pay for the Turbomaster at $125 and get the same thing and be easy to ajust.

Are you expecting something special with a wastegate??? They do nothing...

the questions are posted in my first post not sure how u can ask what did i want to know... but whatever i read on the turbomaster did seem like a nice part for a better price, but can you actually feel a difference from these or is it just very small, or i mean is it worth the money to buy it. also can you switch it from the stock turbo to a gtp38r?

A wastegate control rod will not let you "feel" anything. You can ajust the stock one to hold more boost, there is nothing specal about the Banks unit that you will notice a differance. Honestly I would not install one again. The turbomaster was cheap enough that it made sence, but the only thing I noticed is I could ajust my max boost level easier then I could with the stocker or the Banks unit.
