They said the lead would stick to it and make it were it would not work right.

    If you're running leaded gas full time then it can be a problem, if you're only using it when you go to the track every once in a while then it shouldn't be an issue.

    "The TiAL 38mm is the only wastegate with the option to choose the valve stem's protective coating. To keep the overall cost of the unit down, the choice was left to the customer. Lead Oxide which is present only when burning leaded fuels is corrosive to the Black coating on the Street valve's stem. Extended use of leaded fuel will cause performance problems and unreliable valve actuation.

    The Silver coating on the Race valve stem is resistant to the corrosive effects of Lead Oxide. Similarly works well with unleaded fuel. The Racing valve is available for an additional charge."
