Most people here prefer tial but I'm waiting for my lindsey dual port.

Speedforceracing.com sells tial and their adapters and lindseyracing.com sells their bolt on factory type.

I do not have first hand experience with Deltagate wastegates. However if you search this forum you'll find plenty of opinions, mostly negative. I like my dual port Lindsey and I've heard good things about Tial.

The Delta gates are old school wastegates. I picked on up from someboady for $20. I threw it on the 951 for testing purposes until I could get a Tial on there. It worked perfectly. There is a common problem with these gates... There is a nut on the inside that back out and boost isn't able to be controlled. High or low. Depending on the situation. So.. When I got mine. I took it apart. The nut was loose. I grabbed some loc-tite. Tightened it down without scarring the valve stem and put it back together. Good as new. Also be sure to inspect the diaphram for extreme wear or tears.

If you can handle that.. Awesome get it and save some money. If not... Just get one from Lindsey or A Tial.
