I take my chances with cheap parts all the time. I always take the cheapest way out and I haven't had a problem with anything on my car yet. Yeap. Everything in the kit is new other than the injectors, manifold and wastegate. The turbo doesn't count because I'm rebuilding it.
I was actually going to get an SSAutocrap turbo manifold before the cast one. Out of the thousands of manifolds they've sold how many have cracked? How many people know numerous people who have owned the manifolds and they have broken? How many people are going on hersay about what other people have to say about the manifolds?
