Cheap manifolds...
Found this on a local forum, this was a guy running an ebay manifold on an SR. I've always thought the worst thing that could happen with a cheap manifold would be a crack that caused a huge leak and would require rewelding...
wrong.. bye bye GT3071RS
the little chunk that broke off went through his turbo and effectively destroyed it.
Something to concider... you might save a couple hundred on the manifold and end up losing a K.

WoW, that's some good damage on a T2 bottom mount manifold/turbo...something was wrong. T2 bottom mount manifold are strong enough and usually don't fail.

..between the parts that are severly undercut and than the parts that barely penetrated, its no wonder it broke! (And I bet he welded over the original welds to "strengthen" them!) lmao!

If you have a ball bearing turbo like the one pictured. You might find that option to cost just like buying a new chra. Most turbo rebuilder will not touch BB turbo and for some that does well you get the idea.zenki-des wrote:i think that was human error ive had a ssautomani bought from ssautochrome not ebay and has lasted 1.5years. plus that rear blade can replaced. none the less that sux!! hate have fix that ewww!!!
