It's interesting to see how the more recent pics at the bottom show that the knockoffs are getting hard to pick out.

you can definitly see the difference in quality of the machining work, and the casting of the bottom half.
the shape of the cap is different as well. luckily i got the real deal on my car =). never ever penny pinch on a cheap wastegate. in the 240 community there are plenty of guys who go cheap with that, and they end up boost creeping or spiking and blow up their engines.

You would think somebody would do something about the name on the fake ones. I would be upset if they were using the name of my company on cheap knockoff crap

what are you doing looking at wastegates jeff?
the new knock offs are pretty damn close......
So close you can actually use the springs and gasket kits from a real tial wastegate in them. So dimesionally they are all the same as well.

Right around $350.00 for the 44mm and price increases from there depending on size.
