So anything sold on ebay is crap......I guess that goes for used parts too. Weapon R may not be as highty tighty as Volk, or Sard or Blitz but they have been around for a while and their products aren't cheap taiwanese made crap.
Ill have to send you some pics how they shine up rock. no need to replace them, some elbow grease and billet polish will work wonders. WeaponR works fine.. My buddy been using those 2 tanks for 4-6yrs now... How ****ing hard is it to make welds on something that holds coolant and power steering fluid? give me a break.. scrape the weaponR black label off the thing and call it the highest end one they make.. no one will beable to notice or give a ****..... and if they do **** em.
taiwanese is not crap lol.. some of the best turbos come out of that area. Dont confuse Taiwan with China!
No problem man, I'll snap some pics tomorrow.
Matter of fact, I'll put the camera in the car right now so I don't forget
There is a local polishing/chrome plating shop that can take care of that for you.
They do amazing work and are very cheap for the quality of work they do.

lol i would not have bought it for the evo if i felt it was crap. lol wait till carlos takes a full enginebay shot LOL as you stated tscomp damn things going to set it off and you have not even installed my mishimoto chrome radiator or my gt spec chrome strut bar. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT I SHOULD HAVE ONE OF THE CLEANEST ENGINE BAYS ON THIS FOURM AND IT PRODUCES POWER TO BOOT.

that i dont know. i just know that Mitsu, and tons of huge turbo companies are based out of taiwain and etc.. certain parts of china are horrible, and some arent.. but the horrible ones give it overall a bad name.
yes sir it is. lol so all people using rexspeed by his terms are cheap ebay crap lol. we all know thats false. in a lighter note whats up with the guy that offered you his 2.3 for cheap or rather i never got a price. How is mona treating you since is clearly in your hands at your house LOL you wife get upset about it yet lol. just tell her i paid for that 2 months ago LOL 

sorry but you failed badly if that was your goal here. LOL. You should have stuck with the stock manifold if you wanted a sleeper style turbo setup. Its pretty much impossible to tell someone its a stock turbo now when its wide open with that exhaust manifold. If anything your engine bay will scare them away. The FP black has about the same size compressor housing as a 6765 which is a monsterous ****ing turbo.. 70mm+

it doesn't look ugly, but it doesnt look pretty either. it looks about neutral. but if thats what you're aiming for then you should have no problem so far from what ive seen. it should get some trophies. The color combo seems like its going to be unique, and thats what judges look for.

The dude with the built 2.3's price is ok but not the components I'd want. Spoke with Mike @AWD and he's quoted me some pretty good prices.
Going with my original plan to get a beater and save my pennies, buy parts along the way and drop it off next year.
