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.

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.
