hey guys a while back i bought a brand new tial wastegate looking at it i noticed the plate or watever that opens to let the excess pressure out isnt closed all the way, its open like half of a half a half a centimeter, is it suppposed to be closed all the way? just wondering it has a 0.5 bar spring like for six psi, thanks

it doesn't matter if it says TiAL on it, if you bought it off ebay for a lot less than typical price, and didn't buy it used, it isn't real.

quality is questionable since it isn't a reputable company and basically a knock off product made by some taiwan company.

you didn't buy a tial product.

I got mine off Ebay for about $225. Has the ring and from what I remember it is a seperate piece. May have fallen out at some point. Contact the seller and if they cant help contact TiAL.
