Trust me when I say you want nothing to do with any VTT part. Especially used. Might as well just burn your money and stub your toe HARD if you really want to be out of cash and really annoyed at the same time.

lol yes. They leak oil because they are porous. Well known defect and they have been selling that way for 3-4 years. Well documented on the various forums. You can fix it but it's a PITA and you have to fix it 1st before you find out it leaks.

Every product basically has issues that are well documented. The FF manifold is F'd 6 ways from sunday and they know it. If you close your hood you will dent it. Only way is to cut and redo the entire TB flange area. fuel rail leaks are common, etc. Shotgun ships with wrong belt and was redesigned 3-4 times because of failures. The latest was their 'bullet' nuts that china puts on the anodized wheels were falling off gernading the turbo. The bullet nut is 100% for show. Those fancy colors are great for the instagram fuk bois.

Guess what? You can't return anything that has been installed. So when you find out your VC leaks, your FF manifold dented your hood, and your turbo nuts have fallen off people of zero QC from China, you are told to go pound sand.

They are just a cheap distributor of chinese parts at this point and their customer service is horrific. Also, the owner has been arrested multiple times before and once for assault and battery on his ex girlfriend and he beat her up nice and good.



RB and Pure are the only twins solutions I would trust. I guess Hydra too but not many run them.
