the wastegates are good, i run one and a lot of other people do too with no problems. i wouldn't trust the turbo's though. i've heard bad things about them, and even though they have a 'warranty' i've never once heard of anyone getting reimbursed from him. his wg's are the only thing i would suggest, but hell, for a couple bucks more, you can have a real tial. the only reason i got mine is b/c i found it on groupbuycenter.com for 160 shipped.

most of the people who say bad things about him have never used his products and go based on rummors they heard on the internet. i have the turbo, manifold, and gate from him and all three work great. just be sure to properly support your downpipe so your exhuast system isn't hanging off the turbo.

Stan sure the ---- isn't happy with them.

I have the manifold, had the wastegate and had the turbo. The manifold is a pile of ----. Every mating surface on the ****** is warped. I'm scared to sell it because I know it's going to fall apart. I'm just waiting for it to happen. I have seen SEVERAL posts, and SEVERAL pictures of his busted up manifolds and turbos. It seems like the only thing that actually works are the wastegates.
Bottom line is the guy is a piece of ---- and sells shitty parts.

These aren't rumors they're known experiences. You know how many pics are out there of broken autoshit manifolds? My friend bought one and I told him not to. Suprise suprise the one runner cracked


And for the turbo go look in the GD where the ------- compressor nut fell off. Again, thats no rumor. Sure you can say his products are great when they're just sitting on an engine stand not in use but wait 3 months till you gotta redo everything...

That ricer chrome valve cover and intake manifold fucked his credibility with me. That motor better be built you homo poser. SSauto sucks ***. His products are ---- and he is ----. Nothing more to say about the subject. Don't buy his ---- unless you want something to bitch about.
