I know it's nothing good but isn't it decent enough to give you power.Was just goign to put something on for temp. I thought they were decent or have they really sucked that bad? I know it's nothing compared to our sponsors which is why I'm getting one of theirs sometime this summer.

Yea I'm sorry to get you mad I was under the impression it was a decent kit for small boost.Like 5lbs. But anything over 10lbs your asking for it to blowup on you. What is the best kit IYO? I've been looking at boostdesigns stage 2 kit and was going to get their turbo block.

There are 1000000 threads about SSA. Take a quick browse around, I'm sure you'll dig up some info.

The manifolds are not very good quality. I'm selling a manifold thats brand new, the same one in that pic for a hundred bucks. Won't fit on a S14 with ABS...or should I say the turbo won't fit unless its an on center ex-housing.

The quality of the mani is bad cause the welds are poor, the collector is ugly at best and the wastegate port is extremely undersized for a 38mm wastegate.

For the record, I was upset. I'm just letting everyone know that we can't have SSA stuff being advertised on here and there are already a ton of threads on the topic.

I tried searching but couldn't find any of the old threads.My comp was down for a month and the last I remember was them making new manifolds which were better and wouldn't crack.Thanx for the information on their quality.

change the nature of your search. search archived threads and stuff. don't believe all the bad stuff you hear about them, but they have plenty of problems... just search and see you'll get the good the bad and the ugly.

It not that great of a deal after you spend more a lot money and all your time making it work.

I just seen this manifold installed after it spent a week at the machince shop having the flange worked down. The owner regrets buying it but not as much as the guy he is paying to install it.
