As you search ebay you come across some nice looking kits for our dsm's. I was wondering if anyone has purchased an ebay turbo kit. And if the kit is COMPLETE, and how it holds up if it is. Also I have had trouble with products from ebay bolting up right. For example I bought a down pipe for my 3000GT and it totaly doesnt bolt up. Just wondering if anyone has any info on these kits.

uh oh, "autopowerenterprises" with feedback of 1.... looks like ssautochrome and xspower had to switch names again due to selling junk.

See what it says on the turbo? "XSPower". It's the same company, I personally would not buy anything as critical as a turbo or manifold from them.

I'll let that speak for itself.

Thanks for the info guys, the last thing I want to do is sell my car short and purchase junk. I think I will just get the $800+ FMIC from slowboysracing.

That's good to hear you are purchasing quality parts for your car. It will save you alot of headaches in the long run.

yes...slowboyracing, I luv those guys. Everything I hvae ever purchased for my car (that wasnt used) has been from them. THANK YOU SLOWBOY RACING

yeah, that kit looked familiar....XS power and SSautochrome.....FOR GODS SAKES, NEVER BUY THE TURBO KIT.....I bought the manifold. Tell me i'm stupid, retarded, or stupid..., I never had a problem with it.

There are a few products you can get away with buying. It's like one out of every 50 they make though. In time your manifold will start to crack. If you upgrade turbo's it definatly won't be able to hold the wieght unless you brace it. The big thing is that the runners aren't very smooth inside and they are small. Actually giving you less power than a ported 2g one. There is a write-up on it somewhere where they showed how little the runners get at some of the bends.

i actually have that ic in the pics, its not bad, but yeah, i would not trust the turbo or the manifold.
