I've never been a fan of turbonetics. I say go Percision, Garrett, or Apexi. I'm sure I've missed a few as well. :exnbp:

Yeah they are right. Just Google for SSAutochrome or OBX and check the reviews. If you have money to waste and mom and dad will give you another engine without blinking... then go ahead and buy the cheap stuff from ebay. Don't let the nice shiny pic fool you. Check the forums. Every now and then somebody gets a one with a good weld job and they swear by it. You may not be the lucky one.

my header from my kit is SSA, but the last guy was smart enough to weld in steel braces. it seems to have worked, surprisingly...
