what wastegates are the good ones and bad? i did a google on turbosmart wastegate and there were mixed reviews on it. some people liked it and some didnt. so i want some of you guys opinions

 

turbonetics, tial, even hks

 

I always try stay with name brands. Ive ran ebay ones and had no problems with low boost aplications.

 

what about turbosmart i saw on the rx7 forum that they are a clone of tial so what do you think or know about turbosmart? anybody

 

i know some people *cough*brian*cough* that have used the cheapest crap and gotten away with it.

ebay knock-offs are like kia/hyundai. somehow, the quality is improving.

Tial. I have been running it for a few years with no issues.

IMO a wastegate is the last place you want to go cheap, its the last thing protecting your motor.

Also a side note. run a SS line for your wastegate. Rubber lines can get torn, expand, or melt, and can leak which will cause an over boost. SS lines can be had for about $30 and is a great additional safety feature

 

thanks for all the replies

 

tial....

 

NOT TO THREAD JACK BUT.

I was thinking about using a wastegate on the charge pipe on an SC install. To be used in conjunction witht eh Emanage Ultimate as an EBC.


This wategate wont be mounted to a turbo so the heat exposure should be minimal. I was thinking about one of those tial knock off ones. And if it fails... any experience with these knock off?

 

Synapse Synchronic Wastegate

 

This. I've had good luck with the older turbonetics stuff, but the TIAL is widely regarded as the best and it works.

Great suggestion on the wastegate line, too many people overlook a simple part like that, but it can lead to major problems.

 

i went with the turbosmart its a entry level wastegate of tial

 

OK someone tell us about the differences between them . To know wich is better for our turbo project
