Knockoffs exist for the F35/38, F40/41, V44, F46, MV-S (both water cooled and non) as well as our 50mm BOV. These products are terrible fakes sold mostly on ebay and are imported from china. Just because it says TiAL on the wastegate does not mean it is real. How much did you pay for this? There is indeed a company that makes knock-off Tial BOV's. To me, this is clearly not a real TiAl BOV. If it doesn't say TiAL on top and have a serial number, it's NOT a real TiAL BOV.

MYR390 is way below cost for original TiAL MVS wastegate. Currently there are fakes flooding the market. All bearing the same serial number.

For now they carry the serial 'SN03091178' no matter what color options you decide to purchase. Genuine TiAL wastegates are known for it's durable lost lasting accurate boost control. Thats why people start to make fakes for it.

But please consider this: The cost of ownership for fake parts are not worth it and not justified. I speak from my experience in selling performance parts and I know what I am saying. I used to sell them (fake) parts too. Margin is good while customers will end-up frustrated.not worth it eh?

Especially for parts which involve your engine. Wastegates, fuel regulators and fuel systems are important parts for the engine.

National health programs of india j kishore. Therefore in my opinion, fake parts is not a wise investment at all. Because you may need to change the part more regularly compared to genuine part and they don't perform as good as the original. If you love your engine, save up and purchase genuine parts, especially parts which involved your engine and safety! You will be contributing to the original makers and they'll come up with even more new fantastic items for us to enjoy.

If the original maker don't make money and close shop. We are all stuck with low quality fakes for the rest of our lives. I have sold over 90pcs of genuine TiAL Wastegates of mixed models since I started selling them and I never had one returned to me. I have 100% smiling faces after the installation is done.

That shows how durable this genuine product is! The decision is yours to make even though the cheap prices are so tempting for a fake! Be a smart consumer.

Hi, I just got this in the mail. Paid $250 for a Tial 38 MV-S wastegate and got this Taiwan piece of garbage instead.

Sellers LINK, his ebay account is vspeedrace The box suppose to come printed with this box label, instead is a cheap ink imitation. Serial numbers are the same when are fake, SN03091178 is the usual part number in all fakes.

NO quality What the hell?:????? Suppose to be sealed valve, no air, water, or light should leak when valve is closed, Fakes leak without been installed. Tial Original are Stainless Steel Alloy, look at this piece of crap material Is that rust?????? This wastegates are made of puzzle pieces?? Jgrote 02:41 PM. Wow - that IS junk.
