My new TA headers.

Hopefully they have thier jig fixed and you don't have to grind those high dollar headers to make your turbo set straight like we did.:eek: :eek:

I see you live up to your screen name!:rolleyes:

Since it is impossible to make every piece and part perfect, even with a jig, we have a process we use called "customer service".:confused:

We will fix, repair or refund if needed, any set of headers to satisify our customers. We have made many on-going improvements to these since they were first produced a few years ago.

There is another concept called "feedback", which we happily accept from our customers. We have found complaints and unreasonable customers do not help improve the product.:biggrin:

I'm not chit talking I was stating a fact.:D I called your "customer service" and talked to you. I told you they didn't fit right and you said there was no issues. Then I said To send me another set, you said they will fit the same the second design wasn't done yet.
I said why did you redesign them if there was no issue. It sucked grinding on a 900 dollar set of headers
I think I still have pics of the tilted turbo on he headers that had no issues.
 
I have to say that my TA Headers that I bought last year were 1st class all the way thru. What I nice piece of craftsmanship. I have been very pleased with the fit. The only thing that was a PITA was getting the band clamps on, but after I learned the secret, not a problem any more.

ouch, that sucks balls man!
 
I got the pass. side header on and it seemed close enough for me. I had to muscle the turbo around a little but I think I remember having to do that with the stock headers as well.

Is there a trick to the band clamps? I haven't gotten there yet but it would be nice to know if there is a way to get them on.
 
I'd like to buy a set. I'll wait for my stockers to crack... Should be anyday now.
 
Does anyone know how the gasket between the turbo and header is supposed to go? There's a material side and a copper side. I have the material side faced in at the header. Is this right?

If you want experince in putting them on come down to Lacey's Spring. Took a cruise Saturday and thought my crossover was loose. It wasn't. :mad:

Have a set of Stainless on order today.

Put a slight bend in the threaded end.

Thanks. I called AZGN and they told me to bend the bolt. It worked.

I finally got them on and buttoned up. I had to order a set of Felpro 1400's. Whatever gaskets came with them wouldn't seal. I also tried bolting the headers right to the head and to no avail, they leaked. The Felpros sealed it right up. I don't know why they don't just send those with the headers.

I must say though I'm very impressed. They look good and my engine has never been so quite under the hood. No ticks or taps! My stock headers were a mess so this was a much needed upgrade.

Thats why I wanted to see some pics of the flanges. Sounds like the same problem that I had. The welds cut into the flange making them impossible to seal. IMO header gaskets are a band aid on a turbo motor. They will fail.

It's a shame this issue has not been addressed. They look real nice until you try and get them to seal.
 
So I just ordered a set of these. Someone post up a picture showing what you mean by the welds cutting across the flange. I would assume that could

What about the copper header gaskets?
 
Interesting ..FWIW one mine I never tried the ones that came with it as had a set of copper that i used.
