"Turbonetics DeltaGate Mark II Wastegates
Designed for durability, with a 1.250 stainless steel valve, nomex/silicone diaphragm and with a unique stand- off actuator section, the DELTAGATE can control boost on engines that develop 350-400 HP. With the addition of a Variable Boost Control Regulator (PN 10402) the DELTAGATE is fully adjustable over a wide boost range."

Tom, that's similar, but not exactly the same as the waste gate on my Revival car. I had Kern go through it to freshen it up (which it needed) after I got the Revival assembled. It also does have a variable boost control, but it's control is external and it only serves to increase the boost beyond the base (uncontrolled) level. Since I already have more than enough boost, I've never used it. Some of our local customers back in the day used the variable boost control and I've personally seen 15psi with it cranked up.
