This statement is probably bullshit, just look at all the other high quality SSAC products and reputations :P

"Someone" convinced me to buy one so I have it strapped to my motor right now. We'll see.... 
A couple things that have already pissed me off about it are the oil drain bolt pattern and the downpipe bolt pattern. They are slightly off which requires boring of the flanges. ------- -----.....

Re:ssautochrome t3/t4 "t04e" turbo
OK ALL here's my experience with those things.
I bought one for my bird and it lasted 5minutes.
The clearancing on the turbine vs compressor housing is way off.
I got a video of what they do.
On Turboford.org tons of people did a group buy on them and out of 55people that bought them 2worked. Then those 2 lasted less than a week.
DON'T BUY THAT TURBO!!! SSAUTOCHROME TURBOS SUCK *****!!
The only good thing that comes out of their shop is headers
Basically the turbine sticks to the compressor housing!
Those turbos aren't made by SS but some stupid company from france.
Lemme take a picture of the tag that came on the one I had.
it probably matches all the other ones!

Re:ssautochrome t3/t4 "t04e" turbo
this is the turbo i ran on my si... the guy lied to me pretty much, but since i alread bought it, i decided to try it out. the car ran pretty strong for about a month... then boom went the turbo. when taking the turbo apart, the shaft inside the turbo had broken in half. ... i bet i would've still been turbo right now if i had gotten a better turbo.
