Hi Efraim,
$95 is a deal considering your only other alternative is the dealer,
wastegate is purchased as a unit only, like $800.  A used WG is a crapshoot.
There were the days when a WG diaphram could be had on the list for $40.  No
longer...

I believe Ned at Intended Acceleration has _1_.  TAP has like 5.  Neds are
cheaper (I think, $90).  TAPs are $110.  I would recommend buying either of
these.  They are much stouter than any non oem stock you MIGHT find.  BTW, I
just did the same...
