if you think they make the turbo's they sell, your the moron. SSAC is a RESELLER of those turbo's. i.e. you place the order with SSAC, they send notification to the wherehouse, they ship from there, you get it. SSAC doesnt touch them.
by the way, turbocalculator sells the same TurboXS turbo's.
and "cracking all the time"
? wtf man, you see ONE turbo that was like that posted on the internet and you think they have done it before! who's to say that the kid didnt drop the turbo and crack it himself and put that ---- together with some epoxy and then when it didnt work he decided to blame SSAC? no one knows the truth but that kid, you only saw the pictures and gathered YOUR own ASSumptions.
secondly, the diaphram that is used in WG's are all made of the same TYPE of material, reinforced rubber compound. believe it or not, thats how it is.
about the manifolds, well, i wont disagree there, there is plenty of people that have had issues with them in the past.
and calling people morons is not something you should just spit out from time to time just because YOU think one way and the other person thinks another.
i may not like Honda's, but do you see me calling you a moron for having one?

The membrane in my Audi wastegate is a rubber compound stuck to fabric for reinforcement. If you ask me that's how all wastegates should be made.
Of course this is an OEM part made to last over 200k miles.
