If not, will they recognize 433489-12 or did they have a different stock #?
The wastegate I purchased was not listed anywhere on the ATP website. You have to call or email, and ask for the specific part number I used.

D'oh! I don't remember. I believe I picked up some fuel hose at the local McParts store, both 1/8" and 3/32" ID, and I used the one that fit better. I need to double-check and add that info to one of the photos on my website.


Note that while you can make a wastegate open at a HIGHER pressure than rated (via boost controller), you cannot make it open at a LOWER pressure. So if you use a wastegate rate at 18psi, you'll never get it to open below 18psi. The wastegate I used keeps max boost at 14psi, right at factory spec, no boost controller required.
