the problem with keeping it 'stock' is the stock wastegate costs $2821.75

the tial 46mm is 'the best' one but most people go with the tial 38mm because it's a little cheaper. old threads are here:

*beware* most tials on the market today are counterfeits, be sure you are buying an authentic tial.

SFR has kits available and is a reputable company so i'm guessing they have real authentic tials:

if you want to risk getting a possible counterfeit tial you can get the adapter for the 38mm separately here:
