Does this look like a crack?
 

So I bought a Turbonetics T3 manifold from a guy, was told it had no cracks or leaks and was in good condition. I needed one kinda fast so I could mock up my turbo setup, so I sent him $190 on 12/22 and this is what I finally received yesterday...

When I e-mailed him about it I got this back:

That manifold doesnt leak at all. its been used with a 35r with no leaks. Victory Performance used it to make there manifold. They reinforced it to make sure it didnt leak. Thats why it has weld. Will not leak. know that for a fact.

PayPal dispute/claim time!

looks like jbweld to me in the outside......and hair line cracks in the inside.

yeah, i was thinking jb weld too.
there's actually a spot where you can see through it. I'll see if i can get a better pic.

No doubt....JB Weld! Also looks like a definite crack there as well. I HATE people who don't describe something truthfully before they sell it to you!:mad:

x2 tell him get your monies back son.

yeah, already filed a dispute. if its not taken care of then i file a claim. awesome.

also, its not a turbonetics... its a knock-off

For sure is heated JB Weld.

/fail.

damn cant believe JB Weld would withstand those temps....Either way get it welded or return

Does that say "What teh ****?" Maybe I'm seeing things but I really feel like there's red writing on top of that mess.


JB Weld fail

aww man I only clicked on this because I thought it said "does this look like crack"

lol ^^^^

File with your CC company, paypal wont let you dispute the condition of an item.

That looks like a horrible botched repair job.

Whoa, you're right. There def is some writing on the weld.

real question is if this is the automotive section or offtopic? i think its the offtopic where youre not supposed to post anything automotive..ever.

lol. yeah there is.

I scraped at that, it's not JB, but i'm pretty sure its stick welds with slag all over the place.

The man above me has it right, please make an effort to post in the correct section. Moving...

Effort... bah...

I didn't know, cause it's more of just a b!tch/rant by me... so wasn't sure if it should go in automotive or not.... damn nazi lol

Endless, is there really writing in that 2nd picture or am I seeing things? :eek:

you guys are high....

lol yeah there is.

Guess everyone missed the post where you said it was there, and your right I AM
