Shimmed wastegates are the rage now for all turbos, good idea and lots of track time behind the modification.

This may well be a viable option along with a few other mods in liew of the S2 fiasco. (If you don't think you are being jerked around, wake up and smell the coffee!)

Remember how our gas prices went from $.50 to $1.50 back in 1973-4?

If you want to charge WAAAAAAY to much for an item, create a shortage!

I think this 500 kit thing is total fabrication!!!!![?]
maybe it's a blessing-in-disguise that we don't have atermarket WGA's yet - it SEEMS the SRT crowd is blindly buying them just because it's what a vendor suggested and everyone followed suit. There's people buying them along with MBC's who don't want to run over 15-16 psi - I'm running 14 to redline with a stock wga, and a $5 home made ball/spring MBC. $300 vs $5??
From what I am reading the cost would only be $100, not $300. Did I miss something?
