Re:ssautochrome wastgate????

i've got one and it works/looks awesome! i got mine off groupbuycenter.com for 160 shipped

i also have an ssshit mani, and it held up fine for 5 mos., then the welds on the braces came loose and it cracked to ---- within a day, so i got it welded back up, welded more braces on it and it's better than new now. other than the braces falling off and it cracking the manifold, which i'm not surprised with no support, a heavy *** turbo, basically your whole exhaust, and a wg hanging off of it. it will prolly last forever now with better braces.

when i was looking, the cheapest tials i saw on ebay were like 220 plus shipping, so you're looking at 240 shipped at least, i was about to get one, but just happened to look on groupbuycenter and they had the 38mm for 160 shipped.

ha, there was a kid in the classifieds trying to sell one for 250

the sad thing is, he actually posted the link to where he bought it from, and it was an actual company that sold it to him for 269 plus shipping, i felt sorry for the kid

Re:ssautochrome wastgate????

thats what i was thinking about doing because everybody you talk to says that if you reweld the braces then it last without any cracks. plus they are a lot cheaper and look a little better then most manifolds out there.
