    In the name of backyard science, I think that's the best idea. A lot of people who have tig welders and experience welding SS will just go ahead and make their own headers : D. If you see something that is looking bad, fix it and let us know how much you think it would be to have a shop do it.

    I actually joined supraforums after reading that, "GrandLordKhorne" knows his stuff! Even a complete metallurgical analysis and x-rays!

    I think the general consensus is that most of the ebay stuff works, and weather or not you get one that breaks is a roll of the dice. The fact that you can buy 3 of them for the price of the more expensive ones just leaves me hoping that when they break, they don't take out the engine with it. Also, there is a growing amount of people who have purchased ebay turbos because they got fed up with trying to fix real garret turbos and wanted something cheap they could beat the snot out of 'till they could afford a replacement. Holy run on sentence batman!

    This one is a bit outdated, I've sold the parts and I am actually building a single kit for my car using a MPT70, I just decided I didn't want the twin kit anymore.
