I'm not putting that on my car :shock:

IMHO- what he should have done was to find flange to weld to the stock crossover to bolt to the turbo.. the way it looks like from ZZP. He really could have done a better job.

haha that is the most horrid looking welding i have ever seen! i would never pt a part on my car that looked like that. that one part on the car would make the rest look like crap around it. i honestly dont know what goes through peoples heads when they do this stuff. and he thinks its good. lmao

"theres not really any more exhaust leaks anymore"

In other words yes there are either leaks or there will be leaks. Congrats on wasting 30 dollars and having something that mocks what can be found in toilets.

Good lord. I've never welded in my life and I bet I could do a better job than that.

He's so damn proud of it too.

How in the world is he gonna replace the turbo if it ever goes out? He straight welded the turbo to the exhaust.

I run the same crossover. Welded turbo is the only way to go.
