kirky from our group made a few and tbh they were better welding than the bailey ones, and cost him about £20 to make

so i suspect the price difference is the brand!

Some people say the bailey ones are a waste of time and offer little support, i think its PJ who suggests Rs500 style one instead, reckons there much much better,

I dont know but thats what Paul suggested

Same as most items. Perfectly good, but at non-rip prices.

Tho if any dealer of the "originals" gets wind of it they will start spreading the rumours that they held together with glue, will give you AIDS, and all kinds of stuff to make you all pay 10 times the price

The RS500 dampers dont actually support the weight of the turbo, they just stop any fron to back flex on the exhaust manifold.

that does look a bargain, but isnt the problem with these dampers that they dont dampen? thats what cracks manifold studs the vibrations not the weight?
