Judging from the feedback, it seems that most of the CA18DET parts these guys sell fit, however the turbos they sell are junk. Has anyone purchased any of the parts that they sell specifically for the CA18DET and had any horror stories. For $250 it's a steal to me

oh yeah, just because im showing you this, please don't take it lol.

stay away from SSAutoChrome. Just search for them, their manifolds are low quaility that end up cracking within a few months.

the dual dump elbow won't clear the steering rack. but other than that, i would go for it. the newer SSautochrome stuff has gotten quite a bit better in terms of qualtiy. i know of a local guy running a SR20 tube manifold from SSautochrome. had it for almost 6 months now with no problems.

if that elbow was actually 3", i'd contemplate it, but its actually something around 2 1/2" at the very bottom where it's flared out maybe 1/4-1/2". I hope my manifold works good though...

I'll find out soon enough if their equal length is quality. I'm hoping to have the motor back in the car in the next month or so. We'll see how the money situation goes. Darn Christmas!
