Is SSAuto turbo manifold proven to crack and break off or is it just a rumor that some guy ------? Really... I want to know.

I really don't understand why the hell you want a SSAuto manifold so much. Do you think all these people made up this ---- cause they're bored?

Get a BMC Race manifold, it's tubular and they were on ebay for under $200 + shipping I do believe. Much better manifold and a MUCH better use of money. Think about it, would you rather run the risk of dropping pretty much your entire turbo setup onto the road AND run the risk of choking HP because of the poor design - OR would you rather get a manifold from a reputable manufacturerer that uses good material and has quality welds. Save yourself money, headaches, and problems now by getting a different manifold.

Plain and simple SSAuto is not worth the time or money. If so many people say it's bad, there is OBVIOUSLY something wrong with it! We're only trying to help, and I don't think any of these people would steer you in the wrong direction.

im afraid it gonna give way soon. It works great

though. Got those new H bar thing.

The Thing that really sux is the radiator clearance for the wastegate. that why i hate it, had to tilt my fan side ways and let it hang on there. Im planning on getting one of SHITBIRD'S manifolds soon.
