I'd sooner pick up a second hand TiAl than get a brand new wastegate made by a less reputable brand. Definately not a part to cheap out on, but then Hector does alright with his ebay one :D

It seems to be about a 50/50 experience on the knock off wastegates. Personally, I bought a used Tial when I turbo'd mine about 4 years ago and it still works like brand new today.
