Wastegate??? Chinese or not

[Azztrix]

Hey anybody got any thought on these wastegates on eBay and other sites?

The tial knock offs ($140) in particular... anybody using one or recommend another?

I am contemplating getting one cause things are right at the moment and the next best is turbosmart at $370

 

I'm hanging to drop the engine in and I can't do it until I get the new wastegate and weld up my exhaust dump and flanges ...

 

Any help appreciated

(I did search but found nothing current) I am on mobile so forgive me if I missed a post!

Friend of mine bought cheap Chinese Tial knockoff.  Cost him his engine when it rusted shut and overboosted the headbolts to a new length.

Don't be a tight arse. 

If you can't afford a real gate, just stick to an IG setup.

Get the Turbosmart, otherwise you might be hanging to pull the engine out.

They tend to leak and sh1t diaphragms.

I suppose if it's rebuilt forged and stoked what's another 500 bucks.

Sensible decision! You will know what it cost to forge and build your engine and you won't be wanting to spend that much again anytime soon....

Don't I know it. Budgeted $7 g
Tally is sitting at about $12 g
Still gotta do exhaust and tune and a few more bits and pieces.

Something to consider when I change my mind at the end and decide to go in a different direction!

They actually have a name for that. It's called "RB26 owner not going EFR ragret"
