Dude from Honda Tech...turbo glued together?

Quote:

.....i recently helped a friend fab up a turbo kit for his car.he ordered the $700 special from SSAutoChrome for the turbo,mani,wastegate and BOV.
the turbo has "XS Power" stamped on the compressor side,and is a T3/T4 hybrid.
after about 30 miles of driving,the compressor housing broke in half!it appears the two halfs are held together with some kind of epoxy?i've never really paid any attention to it before,but i figured they'd be welded together or some other stronger means.this weekend i'll be back at the shop to check out my turbo and another one from SSAC to compare how the two halfs are joined.
anybody ever seen this happen before?freak occurrence,or a result of shoddy work on assembly of the housing?the edges of the vanes are now folded over from contact with the housing,and the shaft has over 1/8" of play in it.not sure if this is a result of the housing moving and pushing against the shaft making the bushings fail,or if the bushings failed indpendently of the housing,or if maybe even the bushings failed,letting the vanes hit the housing and contribute to the cracking.....

hahahahahaha

owned, thats what you get from buying from the best ::)

umm wow ::)..........I don't see how they are still in business.

I'd say so, have to see the description of the turbo though.

damn i was just gonna buy one too ::)

well what do you expect, that moron should have never gotten it in the first place.... he had it commin

thats good ---- right their!

im surprised at that, who glues a turbo compressor together? i mean really how gay can you get?

LMMFAO
now thats some funny ----

looks like it's time for some JB ::)

i bet because the boost would have leaked out of the housing, the turbo would overspin like crazy and the bearings/thrust washer etc will get pwn3d and then the compressor wheel grinds itself when it contacts the housing. Ive seen it happen on rebuilds when the rebuilder neglects to install a compressor cover gasket

JB Weld to the recue.............lol

PS: he he.... look at my # of posts.....he he...420 biatches......lol

lol steph.... ;)

I dunno, that was probably a display turbo to show what half a compressor housing looks like and they glued it back together?? ???

That turbo looks pretty meaty.. My buddy has a XS power turbo for almost a year and has had 0 problems with it.

Ahh that made my day! THanks

seeing that ---- just makes me want to stab an ssautoshit employee, ---- that company, biggest piece of ---- parts on the planet, I hear a new complain about them every day, and sad part is no one does anything about it, wish people didnt buy their ----.

A glued turbo... wow.

Did anyone ever hear about a sscrap turbo lasting for some decent time?

Have a ssauto wastegate myself, have it for about 2 months, never had any problems with it... but then again, I haven't used it yet ;D

i dont know how i could live with myself for selling 100% shitty products. -knowing i sell shitty product.

money is all that drives some people...quality is their last concern, especially when people CONTINUE to throw money at them and buy their BS...why make improvements :-\

JB weld would fix that up in a jiffy! tell him I'll take that thing and rock it jb welded together if he don't want! ---- I'll duct tape it together!

glued together :o!What happend to good old fashion aluminum casting?

It was proabably like Jeff said.They cut it in 1/2 for display,ran out of turbos,glued and used the one on display at the SSautochrome headquorters(the back room of a bar somewhere :P) to fill the order.What a douche bag.

i hope it wasnt a fellow HMTer, cuz i did alot of reaseacrh on the SSautoshit on HMT and (did a search with SSautochrome in it) i got an endless amount of his shitty products and proof links to show how fucked up his stuff is.
