Are the Turbo Smart Wastegates any good? Comparable to a Tial or better?

 

pretty comparable

 

bump

 

looks like they bit the **** out of tial to me imho

 

If it aint broke why fix it?
Tial has been good to me so I'm sticking to it.
I won't comment on turbosmart because I have not tried it yet.

 

anyone actually running one of these?

 

From what I have seen the Turbosmart wastegates work really well I have seen them on the Ontario fastest civic 9.50et. and on some other street cars around here with out any complaints. I really like the idea of the way they clamp their larger wastegate instead of using gaskets. But take this as my opinion since I don't have any experience with it yet. I will be buying one shortly. Good luck.

 

3 broken shaft this summer.... NO more turbosmart wastegate for me

stick with Tial!

 

What do you mean???
