Need a 44 or 46mm wastegate for a project - been looking at the Tial MVR44 and the Precision 46, which both seem well liked and reliable/durable. Any others worth a squint? Needs to be able to support quite low boost initially so a range of springs would be good.

I used the older Tial 44mm (but still V band) for 60K miles without a single issue. Very good bit of kit.

Tial, Turbosmart, Precision etc

All good products. The Precision would be a little cheaper though

GFB EX50 for me. I think it has lifelong warranty.

At AUS$700 + postage, compared to some of the others it is not good value.

Tial can be hard for under £350 and the Precision for around £300

Now turned up - Proof will be in the pudding but looks very well made from obviously good materials and comprehensive fitting kit and documentation. Impressed so far.
