that same thing happened to my Deltagate (thats why i never replied to any PM's about me selling it)


keep in mind, that the tials, deltagates, and SSAC WG's all use the same TYPE of diaphram. and rubber will crack and become brittle over time and the SSAC is not the only WG to fail.


i personally bought a Tial WG instead of the SSAC just because i found a Tial for the same price as the SSAC's WG. if i wouldnt have found it, i would have bought the SSAC WG.


so now there is a failure of ONE SSAC WG and everyone wants to dog them after spending the last few months actually promoting them? seems kinda lame if you ask me. every product has a failure at some time.

What I'm saying is that everyone seems to think they work, and when a USED ONE that hotrex buys fails doesn't mean jack.


The kid probably busted it and then sold it. It happens to the best of parts, but I don't think we can count this one as a typical ssac product yet.

im not gonna trust my engine with a wastegate made by a company that has their turbos held together by epoxy and manifolds crack all the time because the metal is thin and has shitty welding penetration. if you think the quality between an ssautoshit wastegate and a tial,turbosmart, or the new turbonetics is the same, you're a moron

I use a ssautocrap wastegate too. Driven about 1600 miles with it. At first it held boost perfectly constant at 8 psi, but now it builds more boost, 10 psi, as i go up in revs . Maybe time for a little inspection.

if you think they make the turbo's they sell, your the moron. SSAC is a RESELLER of those turbo's. i.e. you place the order with SSAC, they send notification to the wherehouse, they ship from there, you get it. SSAC doesnt touch them.

by the way, turbocalculator sells the same TurboXS turbo's.

and "cracking all the time"? wtf man, you see ONE turbo that was like that posted on the internet and you think they have done it before! who's to say that the kid didnt drop the turbo and crack it himself and put that ---- together with some epoxy and then when it didnt work he decided to blame SSAC?

no one knows the truth but that kid, you only saw the pictures and gathered YOUR own ASSumptions.

secondly, the diaphram that is used in WG's are all made of the same TYPE of material, reinforced rubber compound. believe it or not, thats how it is.



about the manifolds, well, i wont disagree there, there is plenty of people that have had issues with them in the past.


and calling people morons is not something you should just spit out from time to time just because YOU think one way and the other person thinks another.

i may not like Honda's, but do you see me calling you a moron for having one?

you cant defend ssautochrome or the crappy products he sells. the fact that he is an ------- ruins his reputation.

my ssac gate works fine, of course it has about 300 miles on it, we'll see here in a few thousand miles, that worries me
