The "no eBay special crap" rule. This hot mess right here

Is being replaced by this eBay part.

This is the only time I've violated this rule so hopefully it doesn't bite me in the posterior.

FINGERS CROSSED!

I actually buy a lot of things from ebay. mostly pieces that are not movable like intercooler pipes and exhaust, or things that I already know what they are like brand name cams that are new or like products. I have had pretty damn good luck overall.

Yeah, if you know what you are looking for and stay away from the garbage stuff ebay is a good place to get stuff. It just tends to get a bad image. Ebay is also great for used parts if you cant find them on the forum.

That's basically how I ended up on eBay for this part.

Just eyeballing the photo it "looks" like a decent piece.

Upper pipe. Its too long, and misaligns the mounts for both crossover tubes. I just cut 1.5 inches off the side that joins the throttle body, and gave it a new bead. Also, i had to extend the lower pipe where it goes up to the compressor outlet. But that wasnt a defect; im on an aftermarket turbo and manifold that changes the location of the turbo somewhat.

You mean flex section?
I built my dp using Ebay stainless 3.5 inch J-tube, ebay flex section, ebay Vband and ebay header wrap.

I've been running a fake SQV on my car from DM for 2 years now without a hitch. Works great.

That's good to hear, because i was planning to try the fake sqv that came with my IC kit first, before resorting to a $$ bov
