Does anyone know if they produced fake Synapese Synchronix gates? Anyway to decipher if one of them is a fake or not?

The price. I think mine was about $550 for 50mm

If you want to be sure you can buy direct from Synapse Engineering:

Hey all just resurrecting a zombie thread from last year to look for a bit of advice.

I have a split flange t4 manifold for an rb26 and it has provision for two 38mm v-band external wastegates.

I don't want to cheap out on the wastegate (or boost control in general) as I spent a fair bit of money building the motor itself.

So far the only reputable brand that seems to have a suitable wastegate is the TiAL.  I have seen them priced in the AUD$300's.

My questions are:

1) Are there any other reputable brands as an alternative to TiAL that do a 38mm v-band (turbosmart only seem to have flanged items)

2) who is the best priced supplier from whom to get a genuine item in Australia?  I'm a bit wary of ebay as some of the replicas look very convincing.

I have the 40mm turbo smart Vband gates. They aren't that much bigger than the 38mm tials.
I might have mine for sale soon as I just bought another car with a full setup. Still brand new in a box of your looking for some

Will it be possible to fit 40mm onto the 38mm manifold flanges without any issues? I haven't used v-bands before so not really sure how they work.  Don't want to have any sealing issues.

When you say they aren't that much bigger, do you mean the physical dimensions of the thing? Do they have ports for water cooling as well?

Hey mate, not sure if the 40's will fit onto 38 flanges. I'm sure someone else here will know though.

Yes they aren't much bigger in physical size, that was the main reason I bought them. Tial prices are now through the roof so I got the 40mm turbo smarts for a better price.

Bit concerned the max boost pressure appears to be 22psi, am currently running 21 and the motor's been built for a lot more.

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
