I know InlinePro uses them exclusively and have never heard them complain about them. They seem to be very very good products!

I have a turbosmart 35mm wastegate, and prefer it to Tial.
Unlike most gates, the housing is 100% cast stainless steel.
I wouldnt consider using anything else. Build quality is excellent.

I have no experience with their boost controllers though,
but have heard good things. From what i understand, turbosmart
is quite huge down under..

I am running the In-cabin Turbosmart Boost Controlller and I love it, I used to have a Greddy Profec B 2 and I had so much problems trying to get it to work Right, I read the book from front to back and back to front and didnt understand Sh*t. I also bought a 35mm Wastegate to run on My New Setup and I like the quality. My cousin was running TurboXS Dual Stage boost controller and it kept taking a Sh*t all the time, changed it like 3 times, Switch to a Dual stage from Turbosmart and havent had problems since.

I have used one of their external WGs before. No problems in something like 20,000 hard miles at low boost so that thing is opening all the time... seems like a nicely engineered part.

I'm looking around at W/G's right now for my GSR, I'm looking at running about 10-15 psi through a average sized t3/t4... I had talked to the guys at inline pro and they had mentioned Turbosmart...

I've been emailing the guys down in Australia... the Turbosmart 35mm flow 20% more than the Tial 38mm does... the entire W/G is made of 253ma Stainless, which is apparently awesome. Tial will use 2 or 3 different metals in theirs... the Turbosmart W/G valve moves 3mm further than anyone else and the valve is a one piece valve. Everyone else uses a 2 piece valve. And turbosmart W/G will flow in any direction, I believe that Tial W/G have to be positioned perfectly upright or facing down...
