akyakapotter Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 A mate had one from demon and first time it was fitted he put a rod through the block tial or turbo smarts is where it's at mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azz Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Ran one for a year over 300bhp and 1.5 bar never had a single problem, think I paid £60 brand new Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan-11 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 cheap shit! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I agree they are cheap shit however ive run one for over 2 years and its absolutey perfect! I probably will be changing to a Tial when i get some spare cash though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan-11 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I think its luck of the draw tbh, mines was shit, couldn't get it to boost over 1 bar, my mate had one on his civic and it was fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EPnick22 Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 well im only going to be boosting at .8 bar, no more until i get an ecu or emu (if i do decide to go td04) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 there ok at spring pressure... If its a demon one... Trying to raise with a ebc is a joke tho, they leak... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Can you not just replace the springs with some proper Tial ones? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
funny onion Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I wonder how many people calling them shit have actually ran one?Ran the same on at various spring pressures and with an ebc for two years and never had a single issue with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
glanzagee Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 funny onion i have no comment for you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Patches Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 lol i havent ever ran a cheap one, but i'd rather not take the risk either way. Also... second hand tial... £120 second hand ebay.... £20 if your lucky Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTobz Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 You'd be surprised I ran one for a year, the best ones I came across were turbosmart ultra gate 38's you couldn't tell the difference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wickedep Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) 2 words.... fuck that ^^^^ i'll second this !! i've used many over the years. i can probably think of one or two that have lasted,..but eventually they have given out too. just very recently i came across some fake tials..they look ok in pics..but up close the quality isnt close to the real thing at all.

iamlegend Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Like Liam said my old white glanza ran tdo4 set up 219bhp at 1 bar no problem for ages with a zisco wastagate was a no brander But the tial ones ftw!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garreth27 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Yes you could be lucky and it will work great but if you unlucky and it fails and it causes the death of your engine then do you think that cheap cost now is worth the cost of your engine in the long run?? Do it properly once. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Luck of the draw really and depends how much you value your engine at? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EP-Azz Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I had one on my ct9 hybrid set up and it was fine but it wouldn't hold boost at high revs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I had one on my ct9 hybrid set up and it was fine but it wouldn't hold boost at high revs Pretty sure that was the boost controller that wouldnt hold boost though mate?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iamlegend Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Nd for the sake of a extra 100 quid for a tial there's no point tbh.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EP-Azz Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Yeah might be but I'm sure when he ran it off the spring it was same problem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Toffinator Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Just to bump this up.... Looking for an EWG For my new manifold and unsure what to go for, cant stretch to a tial etc for a while yet so is anybody running a decent one of these off ebay? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
