If you can find a used one that would be fine. They're pretty bulletproof

Didn't think the stock wastegate bled that much. So getting a new wg, dp, and mbc would be a good combo? Even on a k26#6?

This is the real issue, IMHO. Do it and buy the Tial, though my LR DP served me well.

i put the time in . but if lihnsey don't give custom spring pull it out an buy one and its done tial wastegates are fashion accessory's
Fashion accessories Tial is much better than the stock one, even a modded one. Just the fact that there are easy to source replacement parts make it much better.

Where can I look to see what people would gain from this little combo?

do asearch here. LOTS o info. LR is close to you. They would probably a good group for you to work with.
the 3" exhaust issue is usually based on an old cat. Full 3" will allow faster spool up. It's noticeable. Good WG is also noticeable.
These are basically the first mods to make.

Damn, they are close aren't they? I never looked down at the bottom of their site for a location, or contact info. Looks like I'll have to save up my allowance and go have a field trip at the toy store.

I guess the advantage of the LR one is it is a modified stock and therefore a direct replacement. The Tial does take a little bit more work to make fit and there is not a lot of meat on the edge of the flange to provide the best seal. Perhaps I'm in the minority here, and to be honest I wouldn't not use a Tial in another application, but I did have my Tial 38 jam shut and I boosted up to 2.1 bar on the track with a helmet on and couldn't hear my engine pinging it's brains out. Car was quite frisky all the same Can't believe I got to drive home that day! I believe the larger Tial has a better fitting flange?

Generally, I agree. If you get the Tial from SFR, Tim has done the research to take care of that. We all know about his quality control, which is as good as it gets. The 46 mm Tial will do fine, but I still haven't found an issue with my 38mm.
