I bought one from ssautocrome.

Plenty of support brackets and its seemed to have good quality welds etc.

No crap inside of the unit and I no trouble intalling it.

Has anyone else got one of these?

Cost me a little under 500 delivered with a split dup aswell.

Does anyone know much about this company at all.

my two cents.

they are all shit. thin wall 304 brittle shit. (in my opinion) i have witnessed many combos.

but they are "racing" items wich are ment to be replaced each season.

no intension to ofend anyone. :)

i had my ebay/xforce one ceramic coated in and out to keep the heat out of it.

all those gcg/ebay ect have runners way to big.

the jap ones are the same. for some reason they all use very big runners for max hp. they seem to forget that most of us only want 5-600hp.

on a 26 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" internal daiametre runners is perfect.

on a 20-25 1 1/4" would be perfect.

you have to rembember that the manifold isnt the restriction but the exhaust housing.

i only bought one because i couldnt be botherd to make another custom one.

i still have the scars on my hands.

but for 300 bucks you cant go wrong.

ps. whats with the chineese t4 pattern that is half way between t3 and t4? the ports line up but the bolt spacing is WAY off.

i got one form ebay a while ago mive turned out very good it was from the states but like the other fella said get it hpc coated in a out mine has bracketson ot and has been die grinded out was very happy with the result for the price but that could just be a one of

Well I noticed a crack on mine just 2 days ago.

Its right at the top of th manifold so I'm lucky it doesn't need to come off the car.(Very minor hiarline crack)

Engineering workshop said it will be a peice of cake to fix using a tig.

When I get a new turbo some time next year I think I'll take the advice from T04GTR and get it ceramic coated in and out wile the turbo is off.

    • Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
    • Gucci bags tend to hold their value well, so someone’s definitely going to get a nice find here.
    • @Ozdavroz Not going to get a better deal than that. Cash up front and ongoing payments. 🤑
    • I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed    
    • All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?
