no, they are not the same, weld area's are different and the sparks dont have the bracket that extends out from the exhuast flange to turbo flange, and the wg flange on teh sparks sticks out more, they are similar but not the same

No it's not the same, and that SSAUTOCHROME company sells crappy stuff. Remember, 99% of the time you get what you paid for. I bought a turbo from them, and it blew the seals in a month. And my oil lines were fine.

Yea I've heard mixed reviews. But now the SSAutoChrome ones come braced and I've heard they don't crack anymore or as easily. Someone on here was using one and now his gf is using it and it has been 6 months with no cracking. I dunno I have one I'll be putting it on soon. SHould be fine for my sohc application.

I am just not real sure of ss's stuff. i am two miles(approximately) and he wont meet me somewhere. i understand the whole home business thing but i have heard bad things about the wastegate breaking off. Kinda alarming.

The wastegate flange on my friend's manifold broke off. He welded it and it broke again and now has a Revhard Manifold

Those guys are dicks. My friend tried to order some manifolds from them. They won't speak to you on the phone, you have to fax them everything. And they are very rude.

And the manifolds are pieces of ****. Do not buy them. Buy from lovefab or someone else that makes nice stuff.
