hks wastegate?

Hey just wondering how hks wastegates compare to tial wastegates and could someone check this out and let me know if the wastegate is actually an hks. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7975959644&category=33742#ebayphotohosting
i do know it's being sold by ssautochrome and some people have had problems with him before so i figured i would have you guys check it out to see if its truely an hks gate

That doesn't look like an HKS wastegate to me http://www.hksusa.com/categories/?id=1939 . It kinda looks like my TiAL wastegate http://www.prostreetonline.com/store/turbos/tial_wastegates/. I have heard some bad things about SSAutochrome as well. If I were you, I'd start looking elsewhere for a wastegate instead of this guy.

As for the HKS/TiAL comparison. They are both reputable companies so you're gonna be alright with either brand. I expect the HK$ one to be a lot more expensive than the TiAL though.

that 'HKS' looks almost identical to the Tial

SSAutochrome=shit.

it depends on which turbo you get, one might already have an internal/integrated wastegate

Ok so whats the general view on this should i go for it or not?


also tyrone i bought a garrett T3/T04E turbo for use with external wastegate.

no. buy a Tial from somebody else
