Default Mamba wastegate and Koso slim digital thermometer

This is a Mamba adjustable wastegate specifically designed for Garrett GT25 GT28 and GT30 series turbos. This mounted up perfectly to my GT2560 and will work with any clocking position. I bought this in the hopes that using a stronger wastegate spring would help me control boost a little better than the OEM garrett 7psi wastegate I was using. Unfortunately, my boost issues do no seem to be wastegate related as this wastegate showed similar behavior. Only had this thing on for maybe 10 miles. Comes with 6 different springs. The spring rating seem off but the springs do work. I ended up with the "22 psi" spring making a steady 12 psi. Only reason I'm looking to sell here is its likely not worth trying to ship it back overseas for the return. SOLD



Over the holiday season I had two people give me a Koso slim digital thermometer gauge. This one has RED digits. Again, looking to sell on here as the company is in Canada and return shipping is likely not worth it. This is a nice subtle design that you can mount almost anywhere. These can be found with blue digits on Amazon for $41. Red seems to only be available from the manufacturer for $50. Looking for $30 shipped. This is still brand new in box.

How did a thermometer become a thermostat?

Yeah, I don;t think you can change the title here, But the description change will help those who are looking, so all good.

Could be paired with this to actually show the coolant temp:

Just to be clear this thermometer comes with everything you need so long as you have a spare port to use the sensor on. If you dont, then yes, the attached link could be used in-line with one of the coolant houses.
