As with f.pumps, inj's, ECU's etc, I would personally only use something proven. Theres a reason the known brands are 300%-600% more exspensive.

Just my boo boo view

yeah i get your point and agree but i think brands like turbosmart are way overpriced. i just dont see the value for money. looks like i will have to bight the bullet though and buy a turbosmart one,

I love a bargain priced car part as much as the next guy, but id rather pay once for something that lasts and doesnt break than pay for a failure and then the top end model part

Im not saying the JJR one is shit. But i am saying the turbosmart one is proven

Local merchants of poverty IMO

So much mark up, $1,100 for thier 50mm? Thats %10 less then the HKS GTII

TiAL is US$600'ish for thier 50mm.

Just saying humbug to Turbosmart,

EDITED:

i think i may just get GCG to bore out my internal wastegate hole....$395 to bore it out from 27mm too 37mm. problem im having is it just isnt flowing enough and im getting massive boost creep because of it. but my main prob with this is the turbo is a new gt3540r IW and why havent garrett done the maths to allow the internal gate to flow enough???? its not as though im only trying to run 10psi... im trying to run 18-19psi through it and still get boost creep at the top of the rev rang as high as 24psi. my tuner surgested going 50mm external but its just too much trouble, and im not sure there will be enough room on my exhaust manifold to weld a external wastegate pipe into the collector area.

thanks
