Default Wastegate

If you were going to buy one of these two wastegates for the same price or close to the same price which one would you choose? They both have a 40mm valve diameter.

HKS 40mm standard
TiAL 40mm

HKS is my favorite company. They make some of the best parts money can buy. I know I can't go wrong with either but I wanted opinions from some TR people. Would make the choice easier, haha.

Either of them are coming from my sponsor so I am getting them for a good price. Matt, I know I can get the HKS one for $315.00 shipped but I will see what else I can get for you tomorrow.

The HKS will control boost better when running higher boost. It is one of the few that people have not had problems controlling boost with.

i have hear that the HKS is a bad ass wastegate, but then again i hear the same about the TIAL, i would have to agree and say go with the one you find first and the cheapest.
