Does this look like a crack? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

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!

endlessmyk · 01-11-2009, 07:58 AM

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!

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

That looks like a horrible botched repair job.

zerioustt · 01-11-2009, 05:42 PM

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.

endlessmyk · 01-11-2009, 05:42 PM

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.

**TROLL** · 01-11-2009, 05:43 PM

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

endlessmyk · 01-11-2009, 06:18 PM

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

ASIAN JUL · 01-11-2009, 06:20 PM
