They seem to be positioning themselves somewhere between SSAC and the other low-end eBayers and the upper enders like TiAL, etc. . . .

Anyone know?

Thanks,

Thad

TiAL

same china junk as SSAC

Looks like they just charge more, probably to cover their advertised 1 year warranty... and the claims/ cost they will likely see because of it.

For the couple bucks more I will continue with the TiAL gate, never had a problem with them so I will stick with a good thing... the piece of mind is worth the little extra. A wastegate is too important to cut any corners for me.

XO2 sells all the china made knock-off stuff.

He has like 7-9 different names on ebay alone.

The only thing I ever (or would ever) buy from them is an oil cooler, and maybe might buy one of their intercoolers.......

on a side note, in their add in turbo magazine. I noticed spelling errors, like it said "polish" manifold, instead of polished.

What, was it made in Poland?

Might be a lot better if it was "Polish"!

I hear you about the reduced price difference though. Unless they are truly high quality pieces, it makes no sense to not spend the marginal cost from Xo2 to get a TiAL or something else that's really good.

Aside from the recent furor over Synchronic (and obviously TiAL), are there any other really high quality wastegates out there?

Thanks guys?

Thad

EDIT: I just did a little snooping around on the web, and I now see that I should have said something like "are there any other really high quality wastegates out there at ballpark similar pricepoints to TiAL?"

I see that there are TONS of other wastegates that seem to go for WAY more than TiALs. . .
