Default death to another turbo kit

Well we found out (I warned him prior) that a OBX turbo manifold is ****! We recently put a ghetto turbo kit in my roomates EK w/a GSR swap and among the typical problems today he blew a damn hole the size of a quarter in the damn thing. so he now knows not to buy BS parts. hopefully I'll get a pic up of it today or tomm.
P.S. once again AEM cam gears SUCK! intake slipped 4 deg. and exhaust slipped 3 deg. so thats probably why the hatch is running like poop.

All you had to do was search the FI forum for threads about OBX manifolds. Your friend wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble then.

I told him to get a inline pro manifold but he wanted to spend the same amount of cash for a piece of poop. Hopefully he learned now. that and the damn wastegate flange was on the wrong side, and it was a 4 bolt. so we called the place he got it from and they never answered or returned messages. so SS-aoutchrome gets a big ol . They are ********

Sold the fidanzas. I got a pair of STR's but they are lost in the building right now I'm going there tomm. gotta get the interior out so I can put the cage in the car.New cage = no more N2O but it will stiffen the car up alot.

trading the NX kit for the cage I still have my ZEx kit that needs to be fixed . I think I'm gonna go ALL-MOTOR,I want to auto cross the car, so I figure A bottle is the last thing I need. My car is in the d-mod class already I believe(correct me if I'm wrong) I just think power on just the motor is the way to go now plus I hardly ever spray, I use it as a safety. I am on a mission to make 200+ hp with just a LS and 12:1 comp. I hope I can do it.
