Default tial vs turbosmart?

ive got my external wg setup fabbed up, now i just need to buy the wastegate. i can get a tial 38mm or a turbosmart ultragate for about the same price. just need some opinions about which is better. i know the greddy kit uses tial and they are a very good company, the turbosmart is smaller in size and thats a plus for my setup.

any input is welcome. tia.

I am a big proponent of Turbosmart products. Good stuff. I have the Progate 48 and love it. You can't go wrong with either.

no pics yet, its still ugly, but no its nothing like the aps, mine is pre-turbo, and will dump to atmosphere, or if its too loud, ill put it into the exhaust downstream.

I've always been partial to tial, and even more so now that I have a buddy who works there and does alot of business with the shop I work at.

Ive had three Wastegates on my boosted cars! To date the best I have experianced was the Tial 38mm... It held boost rock solid!
