Hey guys,

Time has come to sell my Turbonetics Evolution Wastegate. I’m upgrading to a new TiAl wastgate with a bigger spring, so this needs to go. It’s a standard Turbonetics Evolution Wastegate (35 mm) with a 5psi spring in it. Before I made the choice to switch to the TiAl and spend the cash, I went through an “rebuilt” this. I just took it apart and painted the hat, and cleaned it out. I also loctited the nut on the valve that connects it to the diaphram.

When I painted the hat, I used 3 coats of semi-gloss engine enamel, and then wet-sanded with 600 grit to get the coat even. I ended up taking a little too much off in one spot, so I added another 3 coats of the semi-gloss black engine enamel. After that dried, I went through and hand-painted the Turbonetics, Evolution, and the Turbonetics emblem by hand with red automotive paint. I used 2 coats. After that I went through and put 4 coats of clear on top. Needless to say, it came out pretty well IMO, but I guess thats up to you guys to judge ![http://www.b15u.com/images/smilies/smile.gif](http://www.b15u.com/images/smilies/smile.gif). With the several coats, the finish should be pretty darn durable. But enough with the rambling, onto the pics…

- The flash kinda distorted the finish a little bit

I’m asking 175 OBO for it. It is in great condition. If I hadn’t already bought my TiAl, I probably would be keeping it. But I already ordered it, so this has to go. Price is negotiable, but please no low-ballers. Thanks!
