I have no personal experience but a local guy had a set and they would not stay put. Even with loctite and gorilla torque they worked loose and slipped. He went back to stock until he can get some better ones.

Once again, no personal experience, just what he told me at the shop a while ago.

A friend of mine bought a cheap turbo kit from ebay that came with SS Autocrome turbo manifold. It cracked in a week. The wastegate was HANGING OFF THE HEADER.

Cheap POS and not worth it IMO.

Well he didnt ask what you thought about SSAC quality, he asked for experience with cam gears and pulleys. If that were the case I would have chimed in with my great expereince with SSAC blow off valves.
