I believe I have heard the same horror stories about their turbos as I have about their manifolds. I would stay away from anything that ******** sells.

yeah, i've heard that he advertises they are ball bearing turbos, when in fact they are not, and he offers a warranty that he doesn't back up, once you get a product and have problems with it (which you will), you can't get back up with him. i've also heard the his turbos are crap and people ALWAYS have problems with them.

it looks like a rebuilt t25 to me... can't be too bad? one point though... this "ssautocrap" stuff is a prime example of people talking out of their ***... "I heard it's crap"... or "I heard they break"... I bet these people don't even have turbo cars, much less have tried the manifold... it's the same ---- with lsvtecs back in the day... "I heard they don't last long"... now they are as common as b16s... I've dealt with these manifolds alot and have only seen one case where one broke (posted on honda-tech)... the point - don't let the crowd influence you... find out if the turbo is good on your own... if you always listen to this "he said, she said, we said" bullshit, you'll always be too scared to try anything...

stone racing = ssauto crap

he also has many other alias', but you can usually tell by his adds, they usually follow the same format for description etc. in all of his auctions, this guy is a first class scammer, and he knows it. i email him every now and then out of the blue to tell him he sucks
