Appearance of Cherry Turbos strut tower brace 200

posted by  someone claiming to be dschwied on  Tue Jun 10 03:28 CST 2003 [RELATED]


I was wondering if anyone who has purchased the Cherry Turbos 240 upper strut tower brace could comment on the general appearance of the brace--especially the welds. They looked pretty rough in the pic on the CT website.

Performance is obviously the main thing, but it's nice if a part looks good too.

TIA,

Dave Schwieder

    I've got a standard one from IPD and a custom one Herman made up for me to fit over the B-230 intake and under the flathood on my turbo. Both have good quality welds. The important thing is both made a large difference in how the cars felt and handled. They really are some of the best if not the best design out there, the others with the nose and adjustable bar flex too much, the direct tower to tower design is flex free.

    Dave,

    Personally it looks much better installed than in the picture and the results are solid!! Granted you can see that welds exist but they don't look too bad or unprofessional. If I had a digi I would take a pic!
