A waste gate valve (WGV) assembly for a gasoline turbocharger is typically manufactured by means of precision casting. In this study, however, it was newly manufactured in a more innovative way, metal injection molding (MIM) using Inconel 713C alloy, and its performance was tested in a 1.6L direct injection gasoline engine by a thermal shock durability test that lasted 300 hours, after which the results were compared to those of a precision-cast WGV assembly with regard to the engine intake
