I bought one from ssautocrome.

Plenty of support brackets and its seemed to have good quality welds etc.

No crap inside of the unit and I no trouble intalling it.

Has anyone else got one of these?

Cost me a little under 500 delivered with a split dup aswell.

Does anyone know much about this company at all.

my two cents.

they are all shit. thin wall 304 brittle shit. (in my opinion) i have witnessed many combos.

but they are "racing" items wich are ment to be replaced each season.

no intension to ofend anyone. :)

i had my ebay/xforce one ceramic coated in and out to keep the heat out of it.

all those gcg/ebay ect have runners way to big.

the jap ones are the same. for some reason they all use very big runners for max hp. they seem to forget that most of us only want 5-600hp.

on a 26 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" internal daiametre runners is perfect.

on a 20-25 1 1/4" would be perfect.

you have to rembember that the manifold isnt the restriction but the exhaust housing.

i only bought one because i couldnt be botherd to make another custom one.

i still have the scars on my hands.

but for 300 bucks you cant go wrong.

ps. whats with the chineese t4 pattern that is half way between t3 and t4? the ports line up but the bolt spacing is WAY off.

Well I noticed a crack on mine just 2 days ago.

Its right at the top of th manifold so I'm lucky it doesn't need to come off the car.(Very minor hiarline crack)

Engineering workshop said it will be a peice of cake to fix using a tig.

When I get a new turbo some time next year I think I'll take the advice from T04GTR and get it ceramic coated in and out wile the turbo is off.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
