Anyone here have any luck running these cheaper turbo tie rod kits? I'm pretty sure they are made by Uro, cost is around 120, The bird site say's "buyer beware cheap ones will result in death by fiery flame ball" Is the quality absolute crap?

you can break the boot when you install it...
Its brittle plastic, not really rubber.

Get the good ones.
