Default Godspeed wastegates and BOVs

Hey everyone. I was wondering if anyone has used the wastegates or BOV from the company Godspeed. Did you have any issues? they any good? Thanks for the help

Is there a reason you want to run Godspeed besides low cost??

I have only run there turbo manifold so I can't offer any opinions or advice on the other products.

Most here will suggest you go with tried and true manufactures like Greddy,Tial, or Precision and have no worries about waste-gates blowing there diaphragm or air leaks from the BOV's among other things that might happen.

items like these, you really dont wanna skimp out on bud...best bet if u wanna cheap out, get at least a turbosmart if u wanna go new, or u can try and find a used tial on here. as for a bov, id suggest a synapse. theyre not crazy expensive.

all i have ever used are ebay bov and wastegates do i reccomend the ..no

BUT if you so choose to use this is my advice

godspeed,xs-power,cxracing all make pretty good units on wastegates i have opened them up and they seem to be nearly identical to the tial counterpart infact i rebuilt a tial with a xs-power diaphram and its still holding up on a customers car

now as far as bov... they only one i have seen NOT leak after some usage is the knock off hks only because the design of them is that boost pressure holds its sealed unlike a conventional bov

If you end up getting a wastegate from Godspeed use a Tial spring. They have a lot of good products and a lot of trash. I used there 60-1 blown seals in 4 months

The wastegate is one thing that would be a TERRIBLE idea to cheap out on. idc what "godspeed" says. you get what you pay for. Get a Tial, and save your engine

Im not trying to sound cocky, but theres a reason for that.

And trying to sell stuff in the wrong thread is no different. Plus its very annoying when you try to do research, and then someone changes the subject and you have to read through pages of sale garbage. Just keep that in mind!
