ssautochrome is crap period, i have their turbo manifold and the flange where it bolts to the cyl head is warped... they must have never torqued it down to the cyl head tight when they were welding it over there in china. i put a straight edge on it, its not even close to being straight. dont even bother

"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...

Rebuilt by who? Did they rebuild it? Are they going to give you a refund if the turbo is ----? Are they even going to reply to your email if you have a problem? There wasn't just "that one guy" on Honda-Tech that had problems with him. Read his ------- feedback. He's a piece of ---- and he doesn't back his customer with any kind of after-sale service. ALL of his products are junk and there are plenty of people out there to prove that. Email those poor people in his feedback that got fucked by him. Email the recent people that got fucked by being forced to leave positive feedback. I bet they have a different story to tell you. The facts are all there, if you don't want to listen, then you buy his ---- and see how good it is.

^^^I have "heard" the same thing. His feedback is also nice. I wouldn't worry about buying a turbo from him.

whoa-ho buddy... i could give a ----... all i'm saying is don't go off heresay... check the feedback... if you see people complaining about the turbos, than don't buy it, but don't listen to people that have never tried it... I don't know the guy and could care less... btw Dr. Boost, I have bought his ---- (b-series manifold and t3/t4 turbo) and haven't had a problem yet

Uhhh...yeah, check his feedback. Did you check his feedback before you bought that ----? I am truely sorry for your unfortunate purchase. Better luck next time.

If you don't listen to other peoples experiences how the hell are you going to know who is good and who is bad? That's what makes the entire feedback system up. Why even have feedback if people like you aren't going to take it seriously?

ebay feedback is different from a group of people on a forum saying something. Don't believe me? Go on honda-tech and look at posts reguarding people asking if they should put a Mitsu T-25 on their cars. Most of the replies are that the turbo is "too small" and "will restrict any motor". I have used the T25, 14b and 16g and I can tell that that's bullshit (I even have a T25 on one of my cars right now). Remember LSVTECS a while back (like late 2000-2001) Everybody and their mom was repeating what they heard/read about bad rod/stroke ratio... it won't last... yata, yata... and I bet not even 1% of these people have actually seen an LSVtec up close, let alone owned one. I didn't listen to the bullshit... Me and my homie built one, and never ever had a problem... and that was revving it to 8500 rpm everyday... my point is to take everything you read (ESPECIALLY ON THE INTERNET) with a grain of salt... I do swaps and install turbos and ---- day in and day out (and make a good bit of money doing it), and meet new people, and it never fails - I always have to correct all the bullshit myths they've heard from their "homeboys" or some guy at a shop or their cousin that works for honda... because people always pass on what they heard instead of what they know. Dr. Boost, people like me are the reason you don't have a nation full of pussies that are scared to do anything cus they "heard" something bad might happen... I'm not saying the ---- is good or bad, I'm just saying don't be affraid to try somethign cus of what you "heard"

I will back you on the LS/VTEC as well as the B20-VTEC. Even though many peeps have said B20 have week sleeves for being stock... I think they are pretty damn strong. Handles the 200 shot of nitrous we are running through there fine... oh yea.. CRVTEC of course! =)
