yeah, that turbo kit really really is not the best thing you should get....actually if I were you, I wouldnt even consider or waste my time even thinking about getting the kit. That company was previously known as XS power and SSautoChrome, the turbo's and manifolds are "known" to crack and fail. I own the manifold as of now, it was like only 150 dollars, so got what I paid for. So i don't have experience with them. Lots of people say they are crap, but I'm sure many of those people just hate themselves for buying an expensive kit when there was a cheaper one just laying around. I really havent had any problem with it yet. Hopefully I don't because some people do have luck with them. Like any other dsmer will tell you "you get what you pay for"
 
Almost everything they have ever sold has been worthless. That is why they have had to have 3 name's. People find out after a while that what they bought was worthless and want to go after them. So they have to change there name. Or they compete with themselve's and talk bad about the "competition" Stay away from anything ebay when it come's to turbo's unless it is a private owner.

good advice i guess...

The thing is I don't want to keep spending money and money and money and more money on piecing together a kit. I did find another kit on there that has everything for installation im not sure if its by the same company but it looks like a fairly decent set up. Im wanting to get everything at once preferably in a kit that hasn't been used.



So those turbos are crap pretty much?
 
I was looking at getting the exact sam kit a while back so i researched it a little. I spoke with a guy that had a turbo from XS power, after 200 miles if came apart, he said it looked like the housing was glued together. I attempted to contact SSAutochrome to ask about any kind of guarantee and their opinion of the quailty of thier turbos. I sent four emails and never got a response. So, if i cant get a response from a company before i have a problem i cant imagine trying to after. Its really temping to save the money, but if it falls apart and destroys your engine its not worth it. Save for the reputable sellers...
