BMW M3 Turbo Wastegate

Turbonetics' New Gen adjustable wastegate uses a two-inch Inconel swing valve (as opposed to a poppet-type), offering a clear path for the exhaust gases to regulate boost pressure. It features a billet cap, V-band type connection, and the ability to control over 1000hp as tested by Turbonetics. I use the thicker spring, which lets the M3 boost between 11 and 18psi.
