    If you measure the inside diamater of the wastegate inlet outlet, on a tial 38mm is it 38mm? Sounds like a stupid question, but both me and my friend thought we were getting 38s, and they are both measure 35mm.....Are they 35s then?

    I'd hope you weren't getting a 35mm considering they don't make them anymore.

    You can't get a 38mm valve to shut tight on a 38mm hole ;)
