Product Details
The Turbosmart GenV WG45/WG50 CG Diaphragm Replacement Kit (TS-0550-3060) is a genuine Turbosmart service kit designed specifically for the GenV HyperGate45 45mm and ProGate50 50mm compressed gas (CG/CO₂) external wastegates. Engineered to restore proper diaphragm operation and maintain dependable boost control, this replacement kit provides the essential components required to service compatible Turbosmart compressed-gas wastegate assemblies.
The diaphragm is a critical component of an external wastegate's pressure-control system. It separates the pressure chambers within the wastegate actuator and converts pressure differences into mechanical movement that helps control wastegate valve operation.
In high-performance turbocharged applications, consistent diaphragm operation is essential for predictable boost pressure, accurate wastegate response, and reliable turbocharger performance.
The TS-0550-3060 is specifically designed for Turbosmart's CG compressed-gas wastegate configurations, which are commonly used in advanced motorsport applications involving regulated CO₂ or other suitable compressed-gas pressure-control systems.
Unlike standard pressure-operated wastegates, compressed-gas wastegate configurations are designed for applications requiring specialized pressure management and greater control over wastegate operation.
The replacement diaphragm is manufactured to fit the compatible GenV WG45/WG50 CG actuator assembly, helping maintain proper sealing and pressure response.
The kit also includes the necessary supporting service components, including the diaphragm spring seat, valve retaining clip, spring washer, and a 25mm hex diaphragm tool.
These components allow the diaphragm assembly to be serviced without replacing the complete external wastegate.
For high-horsepower Honda and Acura applications, including turbocharged K20, K24, and B-Series engines, the TS-0550-3060 provides a genuine replacement solution when the turbocharger system utilizes a compatible Turbosmart GenV HyperGate45 CG or ProGate50 CG wastegate.
Whether performing routine wastegate maintenance, repairing a damaged diaphragm, or servicing a dedicated drag racing turbocharger system, the Turbosmart TS-0550-3060 delivers manufacturer-specific compatibility and the components required for proper compressed-gas wastegate diaphragm replacement.

Turbosmart GenV HyperGate45 CG Compatibility
The TS-0550-3060 is designed for the compressed-gas version of the Turbosmart GenV HyperGate45 external wastegate.
The HyperGate45 features a 45mm wastegate valve and is commonly used in custom turbocharger installations requiring efficient exhaust gas bypass control.
The CG configuration is intended for applications utilizing regulated compressed gas to manage wastegate operation.
The replacement diaphragm is designed for this specific actuator configuration.
The TS-0550-3060 should not be used as a substitute for the standard HyperGate45 diaphragm kit.
Turbosmart GenV ProGate50 CG Compatibility
The TS-0550-3060 also fits the compressed-gas version of the Turbosmart GenV ProGate50 external wastegate.
The ProGate50 features a 50mm valve and is designed for demanding turbocharger applications.
Although the HyperGate45 and ProGate50 use different valve sizes, their compatible CG configurations share the diaphragm replacement kit specified by Turbosmart.
This allows the same kit to service either supported wastegate.
Understanding Compressed-Gas Wastegate Systems
Compressed-gas wastegate systems are commonly used in advanced motorsport applications.
These systems use regulated gas pressure, often CO₂, to control pressure acting on the wastegate diaphragm.
This can provide additional flexibility in managing wastegate operation compared with simpler pressure-reference arrangements.
Compressed-gas boost control systems typically require suitable regulators, pressure lines, control solenoids, and electronic boost management equipment.
The TS-0550-3060 services the wastegate diaphragm assembly and does not include a complete compressed-gas control system.
Importance of the Wastegate Diaphragm
The wastegate diaphragm is responsible for separating pressure chambers and responding to changes in pressure.
As pressure changes across the diaphragm, it transfers force to the wastegate's internal mechanism.
This movement influences the opening and closing of the wastegate valve.
A damaged or leaking diaphragm can interfere with proper pressure control.
Maintaining diaphragm integrity is important for predictable wastegate operation.
Common Diaphragm Failure Symptoms
A damaged wastegate diaphragm may contribute to:
Inconsistent boost pressure.
Unpredictable wastegate response.
Pressure leakage from the actuator assembly.
Difficulty maintaining the intended boost setting.
Abnormal boost controller behavior.
Failure to achieve the expected wastegate response during pressure testing.
These symptoms can also be caused by incorrect plumbing, damaged solenoids, faulty pressure regulators, or other turbocharger system problems.
Proper diagnosis should be performed before replacing components.
Genuine Turbosmart Replacement Components
The TS-0550-3060 uses replacement components intended for Turbosmart's GenV WG45/WG50 CG wastegate assemblies.
Using genuine components helps maintain compatibility with the actuator's diaphragm chamber, spring seat, and retaining mechanism.
This is particularly important in motorsport applications where pressure control accuracy and component reliability are essential.
Included Diaphragm Spring Seat
The replacement diaphragm assembly includes the associated spring seat.
The spring seat provides the intended contact surface for the wastegate's internal spring arrangement.
Correct spring seat installation is important for maintaining proper component alignment and wastegate operation.
Valve Retaining Clip and Spring Washer
The kit includes a replacement valve retaining clip and spring washer.
These components are used during the diaphragm assembly service procedure.
They should be installed according to Turbosmart's current instructions.
Reusing damaged or incorrectly installed retaining components can affect the reliability of the wastegate assembly.
25mm Hex Diaphragm Tool
The TS-0550-3060 includes a 25mm hex diaphragm tool.
This tool is provided to assist with the diaphragm service procedure.
Use the tool according to Turbosmart's instructions and avoid applying excessive force to the diaphragm assembly.
Standard vs. CG Diaphragm Compatibility
Turbosmart offers different diaphragm replacement kits for standard and compressed-gas GenV wastegates.
TS-0550-3005: GenV WG45/WG50 Standard/HP Diaphragm Replacement Kit.
TS-0550-3060: GenV WG45/WG50 CG Diaphragm Replacement Kit.
The CG replacement kit is designed for the compressed-gas actuator configuration.
These diaphragm kits should not be considered interchangeable.
Other Wastegate Compatibility Restrictions
The TS-0550-3060 is not intended for:
Gen4 or earlier Turbosmart wastegates.
GenV standard WG45/WG50 wastegates.
GenV HP WG45/WG50 wastegates.
HyperGate45 Lite configurations.
GenV WG38/WG40 wastegates.
GenV WG60 PowerGate60 wastegates.
Always verify the wastegate model and configuration before ordering.
Wastegate Service and Boost Control Calibration
Replacing the diaphragm may affect wastegate operation if the original component was damaged or leaking.
After servicing, the wastegate should be pressure-tested to confirm correct operation.
The boost control system should also be inspected and verified before returning the vehicle to full-load operation.
Professional installation is recommended for compressed-gas motorsport systems.
