Actually I dont troll I give an answer backed by facts or thoughts sometimes opinions. You give a general statement and nothing more, yet I am a troll. It would have been just as easy to say, "dont buy from him he has alot of negative feedback, or look at his feedback and see if you really want to buy from him."

If you spent more time giving a good answer then you would have to explain your self constantly.

Even when he explains himself, there's no valid point. :rolleyes: Just ramblings to explain his ramblings. Stick to giving bad advice to the kids at your "shop" kooka and stop cluttering up DSMtuners.

:rolleyes: sure, ok.

Again, you have followed me into a thread only to post nothing about nothing. You say im rambling with no valid point, yet you post something hardly worthy of a PM. You must still be upset over me questioning the SBR manifold a week ago.

Please stop hanging off the "wiseman's" nuts and following me around. If you have some shit to say to me, PM me. If you have something to tell boostedinaz, pm him. Dont clutter this thread about a ebay turbo with your bullshit. TIA.

You put quotes around that alot yet, you never give an answer worth a shit. I have been chosen to have that title buy others on this board. Like I have said many times, if you have a problem with my title then email Luda and when he looks at my post and there contents and your post and there contents he will make the right decision. You seem to get mad when people call you on the way you post yet you make no effort to do anything about it or try and gain respect. Oh well to each there own. :thumbdown
 
THose manifolds are polished because every piece of shit that comes from Taiwan is polished. People seem to see value and quality in a piece of metal that is polished vs. one that is not. Not sure why something that is shiny is "obviously" good quality.

Man you are really protective of that name. I don't have a problem with your title, I could give two shits about it. Stop bringing it up.

I bet you're right, and that's what it is.

Either that, or SSAutoChrome crap.

I'd like to see pictures of how large the runner openings are. I'd bet they are so small they would suffocate the engine :laugh:
 
just incase anyone was thinking of purchaseing from this guy, he is the same dude as the ssautochrome guy, i guess he was getting a bad reputation or somthing so he got an extra name, i have heard bad things about ssautochrome, but i have a friend that has been running one of his manifolds on 60-1 h22 prelude and its holding up nicely, i guess you just have to get lucky and get a good part but for the price, its a risk im willing to take... :D
 
I had a hunch it was the same guy or company, the auctions looked terribly similar.

Anyways, you should check out the ebay turbo kit thread a half page down.

Just keep in mind that these risks end up costing more in the end. I'd rather not play the lottery with my car. Buy quality the first time around and enjoy that quality + peace of mind.
 
well, according to the banner at the top of the page "50 trim turbos start at $850" and those probably arent ball bearing, so i can afford to buy two of these for the price of one of those, in fact im sure i could get a discount if i bought two, so if they are even if it isnt quite as good, which im sure its probably pretty close, ive still got an extra $500 bucks in my pocket to send it off and get it rebuilt by whoever i want. :D

Apparently you do have a problem. There is no reason for you to have an attitude like you do.

Anyway, like most people have said, I wouldn't buy it. 99% of the time, you get what you pay for. If you think that kit is going to be better quality and give you more gains than buying a 16g or something, go ahead and try it. If it actually holds out and is worth the money, congrats.

I don't think it will be worth it myself.
 
i see what you guys are saying about you get what you pay for but $350 for a brand new ball-bearing turbo? you can't beat that, if it were a $50 difference to get it from a name i know, i would have done that but it was a $500 difference, thats quite a lot wouldnt you agree?

well, ive had a big 16g and quite frankly i think it was a waste of money, if i had it to do over again i would have went straight to the 60-1, same with the 550cc's everyone is always advocating, maxed out too easily, not even worth upgrading to, 720's or above or nothing i say.

If you really think I followed you in here, you're just pathetic. This thread has nothing to do with you, a wiseman, or some sbr manifold a week ago which I honestly don't recall(I think you made that up). As many have pointed out, you shouldn't be giving advice. Rather than back up a statement you choose to start an argument or try and provoke a fight. I would appreciate it if you would post only correct and back it up so the rest of us don't have to take time to correct you. Thank you.

If you make the same power as a 16G it would be worth it considering the price. As long as you can deal with the custom work to install it and it won't cost you a fotune for the fabricating or aftermarket parts, I'd try it. :thumb:
 
Man, this thread's going nowhere, fast.

Good luck with the turbo 2bar, let us know how the transaction turns out. What's the safest way to pay the fella? PayPal?

I would appreciate it if you would post for me where I was incorrect anywhere in this thread and needed to be corrected. Thank you.

If you have a problem with me personally, fine. Just don't post that I'm sharing incorrect technical information when I have not.

Interesting. If you would reread page one, you would see that I did back up my statement.

What's even more interesting is when I look to your post, #26, I see strictly provoking and argument starting. Could you be anymore hypocritical? Unbelieveable.
 
#### you few idiots really need to stop arguing in this thread, all you are going to do is get this shit locked and the original poster is going to be shit out of luck for suggestions so take your pissing contest somewhere else. I swear everyday this board looks more and more like clubsi or even worse srtforums.

As for the original poster, I would really really really urge you not to by this turbo. Think about it this way, you buy this turbo for what is it 350$ it turns out to be shit. A new bb center catridge costs a few hundred dollars we will say 300 to be very very safe. So we are now at 650$ you then have to send the turbo somewhere to get balanced/rebuilt another few hundred say again 300$(on the cheap side) so now we are at 950$. That money could buy you a turbo from a reputible turbo company and have a warrantie that is garunteed. This is the important part, or just sack up save a few extra hundred and buy something really nice from fp. Their quality is unmatched as far as turbo quaility goes and they stand by their warranty unlike some ebay guy you don't know.


JDMAWD said it before "i should have saved myself thousands by buying from a real turbo shop in the first place rather than cheap shit I have been using." I don't understand everybodies fasination with saving money when it comes to their cars, IT WILL come back to bite you in the ass no matter what anyone says. If you really want to buy the turbo I can't tell you where to spend your money but if this turbo comes out as crap don't say we didn't tell you so.

Great post until you plugged your company that sells 50 trims.

actually nowhere in my post did I plug my company, as a matter of fact I plugged fp multiple times in my post, hell I'll plug another company go to turbonetics for good turbos if you want them. We don't offer warenties which is one of my main criteria for having him buy from a reputible turbo shop such as fp.

Dont like the way the board is going them move on to a board that is more your taste. :rolleyes:

We have already given him his answer in the first 5 post that said DONT BUY IT. You claim to not like this board becasue it is turning into clubsi but they are chocke full of people who dont have any decent answers, just thoughts with no proof. If that is what you want then by all means go for it. I dont want people to just post, "it sucks dont get it" I want them to post why it sucks and if they are talking from experiance or just hearing it from a friend of someguy that heard this dude had one. If that is what you want then we are on the same side, if not then perhaps clubsi is for you.

By the way nice plug. :rolleyes:

yes, that is exactly what I want. Every thread I come into now has a he said she said advice how the #### is that going to help someone?? And for the haters i edited my post and no it was not a ####ing plug. A plug would have been.


"dude don't buy from ebay guy his shit sucks buy from us we sell 50 trims as well and we won't rip you off. www.xxxxx.com."

when I first read you post I thought I agreed with you, well I agree with you to a certain extent. I do agree that those "other" sites and recently this site have a whole bunch of people giving advice based on what they heard or read, and that this site needs to end that. I then saw "WE have alredy given him his answer in the first five posts." First off you haven't done shit in this thread but harass kooka, regardless of his answer or your past experiences with him you have failed to yeild ANY relevant information to the topic of the thread. All I see in your post is how kooka is an idiot. Second looking back on the WHOLE first page I see kooka saying don't buy it posting a whole slew of negative feedback for the seller and one other person saying not to buy it.

Then if you looked at 2bar's last post of that page you see that he says he will have money left over for a rebuild etc...you were too busy arguing with kooka that you didn't even notice that he had told us his plans for gambling with buying this turbo. So far it looks as if KOOKA and I are the only ones to offer any real reason not to buy the turbo.

please show me where I forced a sale down his throat, or where I claimed my business was a REAL turbo shop since that is what I have been refereing to in my post. Second I am doing what any business owner/vendor on this site does, you think people become sucesful in the business world by sitting in the corner and hoping that someone discovers them :rolleyes: Please I gave my opinion on why he should not buy the turbo from ebay to try and save money because it will come back to bite him in the ass, and then put my businesses website under my name. I did not try and direct him towards my site by saying we sell 50 trims, or by saying we could get a good price on them for him. Look at posts made by any vendors on this site and you will see that they do the exact same thing.
