As for their turbos, I've had about 4 deaths. Most ended up with way too much shaft play and blowing oil, had one compressor wheel come right off too. All in all, I'm not all too much a fan of their stuff. I do hear that they're using thicker flanges now though?

The flanges are still thinner then I would like, but we haven't had any problems with cracked welds.
For an inexpensive manifold, they're alright.

i got my bnr turbo on im not impressed by it yet .. its not any worse than my stock but not any better im sure it will last LONGER .. but this is just the first 40 miles.. im at 10 lbs boost right now.. i dont have a cam so no pics.. keep on posting cuz im sick i love turbos......
believe it or not... that is the elcheapo ssautochrome manifold
the flange is as thick as it looks
the buidl quality is pretty good. the flange part that bolts to the turbo and the tube seems to be welded pretty good and tight. the part that the tube goes to the flange on the engien side have some penetration, but i wish they welded it more.
it looks like a good stock replacement....
it wont be as sturdy as the stock manifold - but i dont think it will break...
you could ask me anytime for long term results...
