got my new $108 manifold, took some pics so you all could see the fine craftmenship

this is what sucks, i dont really have the tools to get all in deep and clean this up and im sorta worried its gona destroy my turbine wheel if any of this comes loose.. i did my best to break anything loose with a screwdriver.. then i dropped $2 at the car wash and pressure sprayed all the metal out of it, there was alot of metal pieces in there when i got it..



i was at the local turbo shop and he wanted to check it out, he asked who made it, i said its straight outta china, he advised against bracing it, said it would probly do more bad then good?

 

you wanna sell it. i have the tools to get down in there. lol

 

i wouldnta knocked it around with a screwdriver. dremel smooth what you can reach and dont strap any turbos you like to it

 

by knocked it around with a screwdriver, was more like i poked at ---- for like 2 minutes to see how well it was holding on.. ya i do have a dremel but i dont know how good it will get at that junk

test fit the other day, everything sits perfect so far

 

LOL Throw that in the trash. Those pieces are going to blow through your turbo and its going to be a jack-o-lantern when the manifold is cleaned out.

 

I agree or spend 2+ hpours with a heavy grinder and super duper carbides




a dremel aint gonna clean that mess up

 

is that ---- SS Auto?

 

cast manifolds kids if your cheap

 

---- and i sold my cast mani and paid $20 more for this one LOLLLOO!

i emailed them with a complaint and picture, maybe they will send me another free like they did with my wastegate that had one stripped bolt on the top hat thing

 

lol, should have kept the cast manifold.
