Default Turbosmart wastegate actuators

Is there any reason why i should consider the TS internal wastegate actuator for my GT28RS? What are the benefits over the stock Garrett unit?

More than likely just a higher pressure actuator like the Garrett version. Contact your Garrett dealer to obtain a higher pressure one if needed. Otherwise the stock is fine. There is no advantage. Its just an additional option.

they are the same PSI rating (7PSI) as the stock Garrett unit. i don't need a higher one, but i have been infatuated with the TS stuff and wondered what the advantages would be.
thanks for the reply

They make a higher psi (both Garrett and Turbosmart) as well as the stock. No real advantage but looks.
