Summary is SSAC has a horrible standing with the better business bureau for failure to address consumer complaints. Read some of the negative feedback they have on ebay as well. The customer service person they have responding to feedback sounds like a fucking 12 year old with a bitchy attitude. Totally unprofessional.

SSAC is the worst thing out there, they are the same as XS Power so be carefull there products loss power instead of make power. Buschur Racing put a intercooler to the test and after one pull intake temps went up to over 120 degrees, were his was 56 degrees. that hot he would need to take at least 3 degrees timing out so the car wouldnt knock!!!

If you wanna play it safe, and still be cheap buy only exhaust parts from them. Or possibly a front mount kit, then buy a better core when you have the cash. Never buy a turbo, wastegate, exhaust manifold, blowoff valve, or any moving part. Even be wary of the ebay cheap knockoff intake manifolds. Cast is hard to fuck up, but they managed to make it fairly thin and very porous. They work decently fine as long as you don't try to polish it. Removing material to polish ends up causing them to leak due to the poor casting quality.
