stop buying fake sh^t!

[sumoashe]

Wow, 4 pages of posts and 99% are worthless. I agree my friend is a dumbass for buying fake shit. I'm perfectly ok with parts being manufactured in china, alot of companies do this. But they also keep stringent quality control over the process. Where as knock off shit is made out of the cheapest materials they can use. When your buying legit stuff your not just paying for the part. Your paying for the hundreds of r&d hours, FEA analysis, testing, high quality materials. Here's an example, why are there no top notch turbo manifolds for m20's? Cause obx just copies them and sells them for half the price. Why should a company spend a crap load of money to design and make something that will just get copied? Theres actually quite a few legit companies that have been put out of business by the knock-off deals. Knock-off's aren't going to design new stuff, not going to test and make sure it works and lasts, and they sure as hell won't stand behind their product when it fails. Why would they, they already got your money and thats all they care about.

Just because a product is made in China does not mean the quality of it is low.

There are many products made with manufacturing quality that can meet or exceed anything made domestically, the issue is consumers here are not willing to pay for such product and demand cheaper, lower priced goods.

Agreed but our market generally see's the shall I put it bluntly CRAP. Apple enforces strict quality control but that drives up the cost and from what I hear it's almost the same cost to build Ipad's and so forth here in the US or else where.

I used to be like you. Then I got a job and made more money.

Now I can afford the legit shit and laugh at the rest that can't.

I see where the OP is coming from. I'd rather save up and do it right or leave it alone.

All parts are capable of breaking. eGay or not.

I've broken 2 wastegates myself and didn't blow motor. Why?
Because, 1) I peak at my boost gauge when I pin the throttle and 2) I heard the turbo whistling 10x louder than normal working its ass off.
The car isn't going to blow itself on its first pass on over boosting.
As a matter of fact, my genuine HKS bov had a pin hole in the diaphragm that I had to open and silicon after hearing compressor surge.

You're friend needs a lesson in other things first before shitting on him for buying eBay stuff.

I agree with this. I think our society has shifted to where cheap = good
