SSAC's quality, and customer service, is all over the place. I've seen a general trend of turbos being better, but have seen recent turbo failures also. The BOV/misc stuff is alright. The cheap TiAL knockoff wastegate diaphragms worry me, as they do sometimes fail, but there are a lot of peope getting away with them. I've never seen one of their HKS wastegate imitations that didn't have problems seating.
Avoid their turbo manifolds for Honduhs. I have no experience with the D-stuff, as one poster said they worked well, but the B-stuff cracks and sometimes boost spikes, and the H-stuff boost spikes. Given the fluency of cheap D-manifolds on here, I'd avoid SSAC D-manis too.
A friend bought a manifold/T70 combo for his H22. Well, there's no place to bolt the alternator now. He searches around a bit, is annoyed to find out that a lot of the H22 guys relocate their alternators, but figures it's part of the game you have to play + sets out to do so. Only there's no room down low to mount the H22 alternator, or a D-series one either. Yet, this manifold/turbo were sold by SSAC as a combo, for an H22, that fits and works great!!1.
90DX, can you post up pics of that SSAC intake manifold? He might just be outsourcing the Skank2/Blox/etc manufacturer. Which means it is alright to buy. Maybe.
