Default SS Autosuck (AKA SS AUTOCHROME)

So,
I was on my way Saturday night to get my car tuned, when I noticed I was not making any boost. I figured I just blew off a charge pipe. Eh fair enough it happens no big deal. I arrived at the destination for tuning and check all pipes but they are all good. I check my turbo and I cant spin the shaft at all. So tuning had to be postponed.

Today, I had to see what the deal was why my turbo was seized and what not. I remove the turbo and this fell out from the exhaust side. (Not the thumbtack )



So I was like WTF. I then noticed where it came from.






So, Now I am in need of a turbo manifold. But I took the turbo apart and everything inside seems to be 100% unharmed.

sorry, but cheap is not reliable. even though the numbers in your sig say good power, that sucks. i hope you get it back together and tuned.

Thanks,
I was in need of a manifold at the time and the SS AUTOSUCK came up first and quick.

The numbers are from my old setup, I need a retune done because I changed the head to a vtec head.

LOL, thats exactly what I said to myself. "I could have it fixed but that spot is a mother, I doubt it will work."

yea my friends just cracked on the whole bottom flange all around on his ls-t. then his wastegate fell off because that part cracked. they SUCK! but he was in need of another one intill he has enough to get a good one so he ordered another one intill he saves up a lil cash. if you dont have the cash for a good one right now and you need somthing to get you by then just order another crap one for now.

Eh, just spend another hundred bucks for one and get back on the road. Or spend a few hundred bucks for a more expensive unit.
