The parts list for sale, looks just like the parts lists from ssautoshit........Sorry for your loss, but ss sometimes advetises his ---- like garret turbos, hks manifolds and tial wastegate, the add an sty, which people don't know what it means. So you got a garret STYle turbo and will probably get aTial STYle wastegate also. Sucks hairy *****, but as soon as I saw the list I knew it was SS ----.


Post some pictures of the turbo, is it glued together?

Use http://www.imageshack.us/ for hosting the pics, it's free.
