is this really a serious question?

[Infinite]

we've run many cars with ebay wastegates without a problem

theres only a few things you have to do

pull the wastegate apart, make sure the valve is tightened down
check the diaphragm to make sure it isnt torn, kinked, ripped or punctured
make sure all bolts are tight
and that the fire ring seats right

you shouldnt have a problem

[hellfire]

^^ And after you do all that, throw it away and buy a quality device for controlling your boost.

hey im just curious if anyones used the cheaper ones. just like a lot of people use cometic metal gaskets instead of apexi or greddy, just curious... u could just say TIAL FTW

[Cameron.]

or i could say buy quality parts.

Who has a knockoff BOV?

Good try, but I'm pretty sure BOTH of mine say TiAL engraved on top.

Fool.

i was thinking about decker for a second, lol

[hellfire]

Yeah, its all good. I don't buy crap. And you shouldn't either.

There is a reason they cost more, just remember that. It goes for EVERYTHING. Sometimes you pay for the name, yes, but you pay for all the R&D that it took to make the BOV, Wastegate, Manifold, etc. Not just copy it and hope for the best.

[Infinite]

^ truth

the one difference is that the metals used to cast the valve and housings are different

tials are nicast
ebays are just pot metal

[WHYTEBOI]

thanks for the feedback everyone.

[Casey]

get a tial


:P

i has tial ^_^

its not in use yet though..... hrmpf

[Decker]

i was thinking about decker for a second, lol

Hey dumbass.

I've got a 44mm Tial WG. Know what you're talking about before you talk shit.

... I do, on the other hand, have a knock off BOV.

Tell that mouse in your pocket to stop walking all over my hood.

[afwfjustin]

You're saving like, 100 bucks? Just buy the name brand or get a cheaper TurboXS wg or something. An ebay shock tower brace is OK, but don't buy knock off parts when it comes to controlling your boost.

[cjacob74]

just get one used, or pay the money for a new one, i just got a used tial for cheap cheap. everything on it is fine.. i wouldnt buy a ebay wastegate. thats something that you dont want to fail or else your turbo will blow cause boost will just keep raising and raising..

[MongolPup]

Do they make ebay SR's? I'd like one.

[AFSil80]

I wouldn't skimp out on something that will blow your motor when it fails to open.

I'm still waiting on the XS Power 240SX knockoff rolling chassis.

[J Squared]

BWAHAHAHA knockoff S13, thatd be so awesome.

[Elizabeth Reed]

i run a knockoff it holds extreme pressure

[AFSil80]

BWAHAHAHA knockoff S13, thatd be so awesome.

Nothing would probably line up. And I'm sure there are multiple spots that would need reinforcing prior to use.

[J Squared]

lol shit would look like a Ford Probe.

[MongolPup]

It'd make the 13 look like a Saturn and the Zenki look like a Camry.

I'm sure 3/4's of the S13's on this site are the ebay knockoffs then :tongue:
