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.

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
