BTW, their manifolds are known for cheap welds and cracking. Do a search on them. They sell alot of manifolds on ebay.

DAmn they want $950 for that ****,,Crazy bastards

The only thing quality is the downpipe and intercooler..

The manifold is garbage even when braced..The turbo is known to fall apart..The actual housing itself falls apart like it was glued together..I have one sitting here on my desk that I bought for like 70 from a friend(Nice friend huh?)

ssautochrome is garbage..period..If you want a good cheap manifold get a obx..Lots of people think obx and ssautochrome are the same garbage but they're not..The new obx ramhorn manifold is real nice and cheap..Its basically a full-race copy without all the R&D that goes into the fullrace..

i bought the SSautoCrap turbo manifold back before we all knew about them sucking....

when i first got it i put a straight edge on the flange that bolts to the cylinder head, and it was warped big time! my dad had to set up a jig and put it on the milling machine and take some material off. He spent like an hour and a half messing around with it. i braced it to the block, not sure how long it will last...

either way i think your better off looking somewhere else for a turbo kit! if you have any problems they will not e-mail you, you wont have any technical support/refund or help... you will just have a "GLUED" together compressor housing and 950$ less in your bank account!
