Default What external wastegate?

I need a new external wastegate and was wondering what people run? I currently have a turbosmart progate 48 and its fine. I am changing manifold though and its easier to sell that with the old manifold. I run around 2bar boost and wondered what people think of the tial gates? What size gate do people think i am best going for?

Tial 44mm V band does the job on my car, I can supply if needed.

Its easier to sell the turbosmart with the old manifold and get a new gate. Saves messing around sorting out more flanges.

Martin i have seen them on your site, i might be intouch. Someone else is getting back to me with a price of one at the minute.

what are the cheap ebay ones like. You can get 50mm ones from ebay usa for about £30 - could but 6 for the cost of a tial one.

I have "cheap ebay wastegate" in my car and I haven't yet had any problem with it. It's 46mm Tial copy, xs-power if I remember correctly. Few of my friends use 50mm hks copy wastegates and they have also performed like they should.
