so im seting up my new system and was wondering what some of you guy thought of each brand and size.

motor is a sbc 350 with 8.5 comp. and ported fastburn heads carrilo rods and scat crank
turbos are 2 masterpower t-70's with .68 a/r's

im just curious on what brands have what problems and such

The TIAL gates can be damaged by race fuel.... they can hang shut.

I also had heard of problems with Tials WG's controlling BIG turbo's when trying to run low boost with them.... so we opted for the Turbo Smart 48mm.
Im running a Tial 50mm BOV but heard awsome reviews on the Turbo Smart also.

The 38mm units come standard with a shaft sleeve material that is not compatible with the lead in race fuel. They can be ordered with a proper material if you plan to run them on leaded fuel. The larger units don't have the issue.

I had good luck with tial 46's on my old setup, albeit i could only get down to 9 psi or so with the smallest spring in them. Partly due to placement, and partly due to the sizing of my turbine housings. But I was never below that boost pressure anyway so it didn't matter.

We've got a pair of standard sleeve 38mm's on the white car and have no problems. But we know they have to be monitored.

I moved up to a pair of HKS gates for the new setup, since i wanted as much control as possible with the even larger turbos

Tials work well, but like anything, you have to size them properly for the application.

Trying to run 5 psi with an 88mm turbo, for example, is a touchy setup to begin with.

carry on

That was on topic!!
Really, I have the Tial valve on my truck with no problems. It has been 2 years and 35,000 miles on WG and BO valve. Never had any problem.
