I love how people defend SSauto products after they bite the bullet and purchase the ----. Just because you bought into it doesn't mean it's going to be any better than the other shitty products he sells. Have you seen his feedback? Have you google searched for "SSautochrome, SSautoshit, SSautocrap......"? I don't see how after all the shitty products this guy has sold we still have people out there willing to buy this ----. I guess this is how he is still in business. People will never learn. ---- it...........
I am certainly not defending their ----. If anything I have nice pretty new housings. Well unless mine are glued together. I will definitely have it checked out as well.

Oh I know its true. I still dont understand why or how they did that. Who was ignorant enough to have done that? I just can't imagine the person that glued it was dumb enough to think that would be acceptable. The one I bought looks a lot different than that one though. Wish me luck.

Got the $61 turbo in the mail today. It looks to be brand new and not glued together. There are no seams on the housing. I checked the shaft play, radial and axial, using a dial indicator on a magnetic base and they are within specs. The turbo spins freely and everything looks good. I will update when I get it installed in my EG in a few months. Gotta get my CRX running good first.

There's a reason why you can get those turbos for $61. Its not like its a good deal, its just nobody wants them so they're cheap

He paid $950 for an SSauto turbo kit? Jesus, I sold my old kit for $1000 and it was a sturdy kit with choice components. I should have asked for $2000.

Actually, it's the shiny manifold and pipes that lures unsuspecting people in to buy products from that shitbag. If it shines it'll sell like hotcakes on Egay.

I'm gonna go start polishing my turds.........
