Default Turbosmart products....

I was wondering if this company's stuff is good, I found very little info on them beyond what was on their site. I'm particularly interested in the 38mm "Ultra gate" they offer.

I use their 2 stage mbc and 38mm ultra gate. 20psi no problem. I love the smaller profile of the ultra gate compared to the tial. The tial wouldn't fit under the hood.

Turbosmart is a very good company, dont listen to this guy. Just because one guy has bad luck, that doesnt mean ****.

A friend who own's a local shop uses there W/Gs often he says there good, but he has had problems with every brand of W/G including Tial etc.

So you will hear the odd bad experience, he says with anything.

Running a turbosmart 38mm wastegate and dual stage mbc , good quality . I like the fact that it comes with 3 different wg springs and a leaded valve for race gas.
