Well, one advantage I think the Tial has over the HKS is that the housing is made of stainless steel as opposed to Cast Iron. That means that the HKS wastegate can still crack while the Tial should be nearly indestructible. I've also heard that the Tial has an Inconel valve, if this is true that is a major plus. Your'e basically looking at a wastegate that can never break. Dont get me wrong though the HKS wastegates are great, I'm going to be using the 50mm on my corolla, but I think for just a mild street application the 35mm Tial is the best choice. Not to mention it's only $205 shipped from fasttrack motors in NY.

thanks all I have the HKS now, but was just wondering if I should upgrade, but it looks about the same.

Without question, the TIAL. I don't understand why anyone would choose anything else. The quality of materials and machining are second to none, and the price is excellent. Also, it's made in the USA. (Not that I really care, I'm in Australia.)

either of the mentioned wastegates will work fine. IT jsut user preference choosing tial over HKS. Both are very good quality products compared to other wastegates on the market.
