A friend is using a tail at the moment and it is spot on but he has made sure it is using the cooling route unlike a Lot of people that run it without and then have issues.
I'm using the Tial 44mm without the water cooling and 2 years on is still fine.

Water cooled wastegate? Wow I didn't even know they existed. Air cooled ones seem to work just fine. I think Saint on here originally used a 35mm Turbonetics.

He said when he was having it mapped on the rollers to begin with when very hot it would mess about and then when he went to the ring last year same issue so he plumbed it into the coolant and he hasn't had anymore problems since. Begbie have you got a screamer pipe setup or is it plumbed back I the down pipe

WOW I find it funny that they turn a design flaw into a selling point!! I bet 99% of people are taken in by this. The reason why they are water cooled is because the sealing materials used inside cannot take the heat, they leak / warp then fail, the water cool is an afterthought. The Turbosmart WG has better sealing technology hence no need for water cooling.
