damn dude, sorry to see that. i have his ramhorn b series manifold. shipping was ok, maybe 2 weeks or so but it was over christmas. my wastegate flange comes close to the top of the turbine, but it doesnt hit. see if you can pm him or something....

IHaveTurbos

The problem is the SSAC turbo it has a funky turbine housing that has extra tabs that any other turbine housing doesn't have.

HickamHatch

I'm thinkin that I can just cut a 1/2" spacer between the turbo and mani to help...

IHaveTurbos

you could just add a drilled t3 inlet flange and it would fix it.

Id try grinding down the tab hitting it first, it looks like it would fit it that was gone.

Just my .02

HickamHatch

is there anything under that tab though??

The Original Whitey

Did you try contacting him first or did you just go right to making a thread about it on the internet to solve the problem?

so you buy a piece of **** turbo with extra casting tabs that do nothing and say its his fault, and i dont see any pictures backing up the claims of the huge grinder mark or slag all over inside... wow good job

HickamHatch

The slag was already ground down before I put it on. I was not stupid enough to keep slag on there before mounting to the block. READ MORE CAREFUL DICK, I did not say there was a huge grinder mark, i said there was a grinder mark, and look in pic number 3 and you can see it on the middle section of runner 4.

i've never seen a genuine garrett with that tab thing on it...

maybe i'm wrong, but i dont think thats something they all, if any of them, have.

i'm sure he'd fix it for you too.

you have to consider the price your getting this for. its not an expensive manifold. his stuff seems like the deal of a century, because it just about it. fitment is decent, welds seems great, and i dont think he's had any break.

contact him and show him pictures before bringing MORE negativity to HT.

HickamHatch

yeah, it is a good mani besides the few factors i listed, didnt mean for it sound like i hate the mani.. i think i got a fair deal on it and do like it, just didnt think there would be fitment issues like there is, i dont care about the slag cause i was able to fix that. Just letting everyone know whats up on the product.

Soccerking3000

there wouldnt be fitment issues if you werent a cheapass DICK.

redzcstandardhatch

grind that turbo tab thing down, and drop it in. if there is something behind that tab, i'd be surprised. bet its just solid.

HickamHatch

K, some of us can't afford high dollar ****.
I will grind down the tab and let everyone know how it turns out

well then you're in the wrong hobby

ccfab

i can feel the love. ive never had any fitment issues with this style manifold.

i dont know how to feel. i feel sad. i say wack the tab down like 1/4 inch and ride. what slag are you referring to. i didnt use any plasma cutter ect on it so it should have been all ****.

seems like the new trend...

ccfab

your right now that ii look at it, i mocked it with a real garrett housing, not a ssautopoop. i didnt originally see that extra casting.

ccfab

i might have to score a ssatuo turbo for mockup. for such occasions.

blackeg

haha put a disclaimer in the manifold for sale page :not for use with ssautoshit! .

weiRtech

i thought you only get slag with gmaw or smaw... josh tigs everything.

i'd really have to agree with ryan89crx on this one.

HickamHatch

it was not really "slag" but more of a burr from when it was beveled or cut with the saw, thought i would clear that up...

i dont think 'score' is the right word


to the original poster, grind it flush and stop making this dude feel all sad n ****, it's supposed to be all **** homey!

beepy

Well, you get a little slag on the inside if you don't backpurge. But whatever. There is no way to guarantee that a manifold will work with every single turbo out there. Not CC-Fab's fault.
