Tial WG - Good replacement for OEM WG?

[terrybullwon]

Having a few problems getting the right flanges for my HKS one, a New hks is almost 3X's the amount as a tial so there is no competition!!! are you 100% happy Anders?

Its yet to be mounted, so not sure, but first impression is very good. Im sure there is other that have this WG tried and fitted on here?

The WG is an artwork infact. Almost as I dont want to use it

I see there are flanges on your Tial from V-band to stock flange and also where Tial exit will connect to downpipe. Is it all the way 44mm? If it is 34mm (as stock WG), then there is no point of using it...

[AndersS2]

No, its smaller diameter than 44mm where the EM flange is and where the the flange to DP is. You can see it better on the 034MS picture.
-Does that effect the flow itself, beeing smaller on the inlet? I thought the exhaust would gain speed up to the WG chamber (cause of the smaller dim) , and then the WG have more room for controlling the boost than the oem one, which makes it more stable on controlling it on high boost areas. When the boost then have passed the WG chamber, I don't see that it would matter even less as there is . I am no expert in flow matters, and I could be wrong, but I always thought it be like that.

Im only happy to be corrected though

Anyways, rather than chopping up my EM and DP to get this 44mm all the way, for me, is a no go, especially as the EM is a bit of art and I intend to leave it that way.

I've been eying these up too, and would be interested to know of others' experiences...

the problem with stock WG is, that you can't have low boost (~1.2bar) if you are using turbo with small hot size. I will be using also this Tial 44mm WG (as it's I think the best WG you can buy), to lower my boost, at the moment can't have less then 1,4bar with stock WG @ redline..
