Yup, they are basically Tial rip off's, same design. same parts can be swapped over too. I've heard lots of guys on HT that say they work well.

Nope, look at the auction "TiAL Style" wastegate doesnt have the tial cast imprint either.

I accidentially bought one not noticing it said "sty" since i was in a rush because i needed to get my manifold done so it can be coated. But i looked it over and everthing looks similar if not the same as the tial. I did order the real Tial which should be at my home when i get their sunday so i can compair them up close.

I was wondering about those too. Also how about the manifold they make also. Has anyone have had any experience with them?

the manifold i got from them is awesome, i love it! have had no trouble with it and i am pig sick with people putting down a good product!
they have heard that a manifold has cracked and then jumped on the bandwagon and now everyone is saying they are rubbish! No one has got first hand experiences of one cracking.

I finally got the Tial today and they are very close but some things are slightly different. So they may be worth it if you get it cheap. I havent opened them up to see the inside but i just was curious if it was a knock of tial but its definately not but is a very close copy.
