Auto Power Enterprise turbos?

[osswalam]

I found on e-bay that some people have been buying these auto power enterprise T3/T4 turbo's with the manifold and intercooler. Their selling for right around $600 for all this. This sounds like another XS Power/ SS autochrome deal but this guy doesn't have the negative feedback that XS power does. Everyone that has the kit has good things to say about it. Wether they have run the turbo yet is another thing though. Anyone know who makes the turbo's for this guy and if their any good? I know this is probably one of those you get what you pay for deals but I'm on a tight budget and would almost try one of these to get some numbers on the dyno at school and see how long it lasted.

I 99% sure you'll find that this kit is the exact one sold by SS Autochrome and XS Power.

It seems a new eBay store opens up every year under a different name selling the same knockoff products to stay ahead of those whom already identify their name with poor quality.

The header has had a bad reputation for cracking, even posts of people who's wastegate fell off (I kid you not). They may have improved on this since then. Regardless, it's up to you to decide if the risk is worth the savings.

BTW, remember to add in the cost for a 5-bolt inlet O2 housing, oil lines, intake, IC piping
