Turbosmart WG50 Gen V Pro-Gate 50 14psi Sleeper

What you get with the Turbosmart WG50 Gen V Pro-Gate 50 Sleeper is the wastegate unit itself, ready to be plumbed into your turbo system. This is an external wastegate, meaning it mounts outside the turbocharger housing to help control boost pressure. The 'Sleeper' designation means it's designed for a more discreet installation, often with a black finish and less prominent branding, helping your modified setup blend in. It comes pre-set with a 14psi spring, which is a common starting point for many turbocharged applications looking for a modest boost increase.

The Gen V Pro-Gate 50 is a well-built unit from Turbosmart, known for their focus on forced induction components. It features a 50mm diaphragm and valve bore, offering good flow capacity for managing boost on a variety of engines. The body is constructed from anodized aluminum, and the internal diaphragm is made from high-temperature silicone, reinforced with Nomex. This construction is meant to handle the heat and pressure cycles inherent in turbocharging. The mounting flanges are designed for easy installation into existing or custom exhaust manifold and downpipe setups, and it includes a variety of ports for boost reference lines, allowing for fine-tuning of boost control.

When installing this wastegate, remember that it works in conjunction with your turbo system's boost controller. The wastegate's job is to vent excess exhaust gas away from the turbine wheel once a set pressure is reached, preventing over-boosting. This particular model is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always consult your turbo system's manual or a qualified installer for proper plumbing and tuning recommendations to ensure optimal performance and engine safety.
