Since they don't make stock twin replacements, moving to Single Turbo forum....

How come they are Garrett parts but then right above they claim that they are "fully designed and manufactured in house"? Doesn't make much sense.

find out if they make a bigger t3 hotside than a 1.06 for the 35r. i'd hit that.

i'll look into that on monday. my supervisor mentioned that the quality of their wastegates are better then most japanese company's standards, which is rare. he figure to have me look into it since no one in japan has heard of their turbo chargers...

I'd say Tial's quality is unquestioned when it comes to wastegates. Then they make a BOV and it's instantly one of the best on the market. I'd trust their turbos if they were in fact "in house".

They are a Garrett reseller. That is all. Garrett also uses their(tial) wastegates and BOV's as their own.
