I know Ive seen some cheap Tial wastegates on ebay....will probably be buying 3 soon myself.
They look to be genuine.

They are circa £350 from UK sellers.....and £180 from US sellers. Even with shipping and taxes, its a bargain.

or maybe it should read...

Prices are good in the US, whereas here in the UK we get ripped off, as with everything.

you just gotta make sure it says tial on it, and not just tial style or tial type

That is right on tial's website. They show pictures of fakes. Even if it says tial on it, it can be fake. There are some good knock off's out there, which would make me stay with a vendor i know and trust...

Also just because he is running a big single on it, doesn't mean he needs a 60mm wastegate. Most people think they need a monster wastegate, and if your buddy is running a huge turbo @ like 5 psi, he would need a monster wastegate, but at higher boost levels a 44 or even 46 should be more then enough.

Id have him talk to some experts in turbo setups, or do some more research.
