yeah ive tried calling them before posting,they dont rebuild HKS gates,they told me to try yellow pages lol

cmon people im getting a external gate for 200$ which might or might not need a rebuild so have to find a place they will do it incase it needs it. :Bang:

depens what needs replacing? the valve may be hard to get if it's chipped or broken. the diaphram may not be any easier to get a hold of. best thing is to first find out if the replacement parts are available in aus. if they are it won't be hard to fix. hell I could do it for you....if you paid me enough. you could do it yourself for that matter.

yeah i ll have to ask the guy as he doesnt know the condition of the wastegate

he just said he hasnt used it for 2 years and before that someone had used it for a few runs and thats it....whats the most common thing that external gates need replacing just the valve?,spring or the whole diaphram??

cheers

nothing really. they are a very simple mechanical device. when used properly should last a very long time. possible the spring could weaken over time, or the diaphragm could become damaged. no point in speculating though. just check it out.
