Not exactly true. Their manifolds are flat out shitty.

Do you think you struck a gold mine with this $61 turbo? It's not like it's going to be any better than the other 30,000 of them that have failed. You would have been better off with a used T3.

Its $61. If it fails then oh well. Maybe I'll get lucky. I didn't pay $350 for it.

I just don't see the logic in throwing any money away.

How many? I have no idea, but I've seen several dozen posts from people who have used them and regreted it. Stan on here had one and the wheel nut fell off and fucked the whole turbo. It's a well known fact that those turbos don't get balanced before they're shipped out.

I love how people defend SSauto products after they bite the bullet and purchase the ----. Just because you bought into it doesn't mean it's going to be any better than the other shitty products he sells. Have you seen his feedback? Have you google searched for "SSautochrome, SSautoshit, SSautocrap......"? I don't see how after all the shitty products this guy has sold we still have people out there willing to buy this ----. I guess this is how he is still in business. People will never learn. ---- it...........
