driving my car down the road yesterday and my turbo wasnt spooling up for ****. I figures i blew a intercooler hose or something, so im not worried. I get home start looking, and cant figure out where it blew, so i take off my charge pipe and my turbo housing fell off!!! the ******* charge side split perfectly in half. so my ghetto *** took the turbo off, got some jb weld, sealed it up let it dry over night. put it on today and it works fine. but is that not some bull ****? you get what u pay for

 

how is a turbo housing splitting in two turbo xs's fault?

 

cheap product. it sure as hell aint my fault. those things are held together by like 6 spot welds.

 

Sounds like the xspower (ssautocrome) turbos...

you don't even know what you bought though!

 

ooohh I thought you were talking about a turbo xs (boost controller haha) I was like "what the hell, how does a boost controller split a turbo HAHA " Now that you say ssautochrome, that explains it all but your title should be "this is what happens with ssautochrome" Sorry to hear about the turbo though.

 

haha o ****. my bad. yea i mean ss autochrome. turbo says xs power. sometimes im dyslexic i think.

 

i knew what you were talking about with your title... if you search, this happened to another guy and i believe he sent it in because of warranty.

 

you should have taken pics of it broken lol

 

ill take some pics tommorrow. im good with the jb weld. i would send it in but im impatient, and it seems to work.

you mean you know how to rub paste on?

 

With the amount of ppl bitch about SSautocrap, how are they STILL in business and how are ppl STILL buying from them??? o_O

 

1.) prices appeals to some people more than quality
2.) they think that it won't happen to them
3.) some are just new to the turbo scene and just don't understand
4.) some have never been on the H-T.com Forced Induction forum haha

naive people

 

But overall, if the housing was the be rewelded properly, (or what u have done) How is the turbo really holding up for you? Besides the housing splitting. Works good?

 

yea works good. its ligned up perfectly because the spot welds caused it to align. hey here are the pics httpl://www.cardomain.com/id/turbo_b16_ex

 

this is not the first time a ssautochrome turbo split in half

 

lol word they're famous for their craftsmansip

My guess is that most people are too embarased to pipe up. Most likely cause they bragged extentively about their insane 'deal', and then found out they just burned a few Benjamans.
