Tial makes really nice stuff and the price is very good for the quality you get. 50mm BOV works with most anything and the waste gate size depends really on HP levels. To big a waste gate is better than to small.

Tial's BOV's are awsome but there waste gate leave something to be desired....
When trying to hold low boost with a BIG turbo they seam to have problems doing so..... thats why we went with Turbo Smart.... there 48mm unit....
I hear nothing but awsome reviews on there mega sonic BOV also.

I agree, I have heard good things about the Turbosmart stuff as well...which is why I am going with two 48mm ProGates and a MegaSonic BOV for my single build. I got them from Jose at Forced Inductions.

I should have pictures in the next few weeks, as the final modifications to the kit are in progress

Turbosmart is the way to go. We dropped tial wastegates from our kits all together. Their 38mm unit stunk in comparison to the 38 from Turbosmart. I tested it myself just to make sure.

I don't think it will flow more then the 50mm Tial. But it does sound ALOT better. I will try to get a sound clip of mine.
