no, it's just that I am not sure of the quaility of the WG. Tial has excellent quality, my suggestion is spend th elittle extra cash and have an extra peace of mind

Aaron,

Top port goes to your Boost controller solenoid inlet.
Side port goes to any vaccum source (intake manifold)

so if i'm using a turbo xs manual boost controller, it hooks up to the top of the wg? and then where does the boost controller outlet connect to? a vac source?

if you're using Turbo XS, just tap it off the side port, leave the top port open.

nah, boost controller solenoids are only found on electronic boost controllers. a turboxs mbc will go inline with the vac line.

I got my mani from them, arrived in 2 days Got it for under $200 bucks...Should work better now that i ported the wastegate outlet, braced it, and braced the turbo Keeping my fingers crossed it doesn't crack

Tial's run about 220 brand new. If you are that concerned with saving money, i would just go ahead and brose the for sale forum and find a used tial wastegate opposed to buying a knock off.
