G-valve alternative?

You're trying to find something to hold higher pressure?
I looked at the valve and it doesn't incorporate a check-valve, therefore not a g-valve alternative.
in order to use this, you would need a checkvalve, and a .020 bleed on the WG can side, and a way to adapt the vinyl tubing to a nipple.

no i do not think that's going to work for good wastegate control. this is an outflow regulator, not a pressure relief valve, like a grainger valve is. why even consider this hardware when the gv is available, proven reliable, and so cheap?
It could be used as a bleed, rather than a g-valve. A Simple Boost Bleed
Set it up like that, use a Tee with 2 nipples and a banjo fitting, with just a short piece of nylon tubing between the tee & the valve. The valve would basically take the place of the needle valve in Dempsey's setup. But, why would you use a bleed? They spool WAY too slow.
