honestly, everyone says how its amazing that you're in high school and doing this project, but i just don't believe you, you may be the same age as someone in high school, but definitely not enrolled, your English and spelling is about up to par with that of a five year old....
it's amazing? im 17, just waiting for my (------- ordered 15 days ago) CCA intercooler, and i just ordered some peices from weir.. then im boostin

I've had mine for over a year and it's fine. Even took it apart to inspect it, tiny surface cracks but it's normal.

the sorty is this, i bought a brandy new ssauto gate off ebay 3 yrs ago.

i ran it for 15k miles on my built d series without a problem.

i then transferred it over to my gsr where it worked fine for about 2k.

one day while street tuning with dave, after i installed a 6 psi wg spring it gave out on me, and i blew my motor.

dave and i have deliberated, and honestly, theres a chance i may have pinched the diafragm when installed the spring, becuae previous to that, i had no issue,

would i buy notheone, based on my experiences, yes. the internals are swappable with tial, and the diafragm is made of the same material.

ikm looking forward to ripping my new ssauto 40 mm one... cant beat the deal i got on it. ill be doing a full write-up on its performance.
