Me neither, you just have to careful with the diaphram when changing springs.

Dude, dont ---- around...spend the extra $$$ on the tial 38mm...youll be happy you did. Its cheap insurance- I myself havent run one of the knock offs, but I THINK that the diaphrams are made of a different material. Ive got a TIAL and love it, just my .02....

Being thata wastegate is one of the more important components of a SUCESSFUL setup...I wouldnt stinge there.... maybe on a BOV or some ----... But not the WG.

I have to say that is probally wise. I am really doing a tight budget setup, but I am struggling on whether or not to get a knockoff wg. On one hand it is a simple mechanical design, so I see how someone could make an effective knockoff, but on the other hand, if it does malfunciton, your turbo, your engine, and the money spend on tuning the engine could all be gone for good. Well how many people on here run the knockoffs, how many run the real thing, anyone have problems>?

Well I bought a Knock-off.

Personally, anyone who blows a diaphram, boost jumps and you can't get off it in time really doesn't pay attention enough!! I've spiked my stock ZC WAY over 17psi a bunch of time trying to come up with many different MBC and the things had no problems.

I've seen now 2 knockoff tials and they held fine, I really just want to know if I should go HKS or Tial KNockoff.
