The reason I went wiith the cheap unit instead of the good one is the fact the both are rebuildable. Dont get me wrong I didnt buy it so I could rebuild it all the time, I went with it because the weak part of it is the same as the tial. So when/if I need to rebuild it I call tial and get the diaphram and I have a gate that is exactly the same for less then 1/2 the price.
So far the gate works just as it should and I haven't had a real complaint about it.

i have a friend putting 400+ on one of these waste gates and it seems to be holding up just fine ..
