you do know some hondas were made in ohio right.................... 
I am using the SSAC turbo manifold & T3/T04e .50/.63 57trim turbo & they have been holding up just perfect for me... no extra welding or anything.From what im experiencing with it I say good s**t. They have improved greatly from their older manifold were the welds would always break & is reinforce much better with surport rods at the bottom of the mani to help deal with stress
Okay, and i still don't see why Garrett being an American company has anything to do with this...richocet1 said:It has everything to do with it because they order the parts from Garrett...
Search homemadeturbo.com or any turbo forum where someone has experimented with the turbo. they will all tell you the internals are from Garrett. All the series they make are the same models developed by Garrett (T25, t28, t3/t4). Their listings even list them as Garrett turbos.

Tell me about it, I'll be damned if I buy another shitty American product like a craftsman tool, an edelbrock header, flowmaster exhaust, or harley davidson POS!EXSpeedAddict said:esp anything automotive...
C'mon guys, cheap U.S. parts suck, but if your willing to pay reasonable $ you can get great "made in the usa" products.
Yeah, Snap-On, Matco, and MAC are crap....far inferior to Tru-Craft (Japan) and Wiha (Germany)bizoneoeh said:I hate to piss on anyone's birthday cake but s**t made in the U.S. is cheap
USA still makes the best handtools...anything else?
I dunno'
actually check your s**t about before you buy it and that wouldnt happen. people sell believe it or not, FAKE ssautoshit turbo's on ebay. the real ones have a one piece housing, the fakes have a two piece that is closely held together by some kind of adhesive and heat or something. THAT looks like its not a crack, looks like it's taken apart at the 2 piece. ssautochrome = the s**t...even if it does break, you can buy about 2 more and pay the same amount as a regular Garrett or somethingRubixcu7 said:

ssac components are decent if you buy the real thing. there is a del slo around these parts (or was) that was running this set up and he blew his engine. never had any problems with any of the components, even the manifold. the set up is going to be put on a sir-g engine this spring and hopefully make some decent power. as for crapsman tools, i buy snap on and mac only bc i work in the industry. just last night i broke TWO 3/8 drive ratchets from crapsman at a friends house installing and alternator. the gears were stripped out and they were only a month old 
then the thing on the back to select the direction fell off and hit the ground. i have never had my mac or snap on tools break 1 month into commision. altho i have had my $250 digital caliper screw up and read random numbers... lifetime warranty > *

And it's a Turbonetics Housing with Garrett internals. It's not one of those XSPower stamped ones. Its a T3/T04e, though i heard they dont use that China manufacuturer anymore. Who knows. Its cheap if it breaks i dont care. Im just using the setup as a starter turbo kit so i can get used to everything. Then I'll get a real setuprichocet1 said:Thats why im going Area 51
Its funny...on here everyone says their manifolds suck. On this Nissan forum, everyone says their turbos suck...go fig.
I personally think their manis are good for mild setups and that the turbos are good if you replace the cheap parts. Got to remember, the only thing they make is the housing, all the internals are made by Garrett.
Yeh I think there might even be SSAC bootlegs.. LOL My firend has broken snap-on tools I dont know how but he has. I was shocked cause i never broke any of mine just my craftsman tools but sears is right up the street so i'll save my money and just keep returnning it.silvertuner98 said:ssac components are decent if you buy the real thing. there is a del slo around these parts (or was) that was running this set up and he blew his engine. never had any problems with any of the components, even the manifold. the set up is going to be put on a sir-g engine this spring and hopefully make some decent power. as for crapsman tools, i buy snap on and mac only bc i work in the industry. just last night i broke TWO 3/8 drive ratchets from crapsman at a friends house installing and alternator. the gears were stripped out and they were only a month old

it'll affect a lot of things, your engine temps wil get hotter b/c teh exhaust gases are escaping into the motor, you're car might run like s**t, if its tuned and it isnt getting enough air or fuel. not worth it IMO. Do it right the first time.
