haha... but at least you could just replace the compressor housing and go, no?

doesn't look like the center section fell apart.

What's up with all this new people trying to give SSAC props, is it an insider trying to change thier reputation? or is it really 2 or 3 people that had good luck with them?

We might never know ;) :'( ;)


In another note. maybe if you get one, and before even running it, inspect it, if it's glued together like the one posted before, change the housing, it could be decent!!!!!!!!

some people have good luck with them. my buddy ordered a kit that consisted of the turbo, manifold, wg, bov, 3" dp with flex, and intercooler (all of this upon a customers request), and said he was actually really impressed with everythign except for the intercooler, i wouldn't buy one though, with my luck, i'd get one of the super glued one's :P

who cares if they are good now are they reliable 1 year down the road.

LOL, this is funny. if this were posted before this 11sec claim thread, which has nothing to show for but a video, this guy would have the ---- flamed out of him for considering a ssautochrome kit. I still dont buy that 11sec claim, for the simple fact that there is no pictures. I give the guy all the credit in the world for going 11sec, but i dont buy the fact that it was with ssautochrome. I have yet to see one positive thing about ssautochrome's TURBO's or MANIFOLDS.


so if you want my $.02, i would not buy a ssautochrome kit. a wastegate or a bov, maybe, anything else, no.
