lol
do you really need anyone to answer that?
that "carbon fiber" HKS SSQV is enough to tell you all you need to know about the kit.

Re: (EK k kay)
the turbo is a china made turbo, it has a 2 piece cast compressor, if you look in the picture and look at the compressor outlet to the throttle body you can see where its bonded together.
it starts like this....
and ends up like this...
I recomend getting a T3/t4 garret from fastturbo or phenoix turbo and do it right, if you have a lovefab mani people are going to wonder why your running an "ebay" brand turbo. best of luck to you. people are making insane numbers on stock b16's.

"JDM PIPING", "TURBO INTERCOOLER", "TURBO BOOST CONTROLLER", "RARE CARBON FIBER HKS STYLE BOV."
You can see the crowd there aiming for (the people who dont know anything and will say O damn that ***** sounds awsome). Knowing that, I wouldn't buy.
But then again it is made by the "JDM TUNER TEAM" lol.

Re: wondering if this ebay turbo kit is any good, NOT SSAC (91_civicsi)
Well in all honoesty ive seen people run those ebay turbos ssatuojunk. Maybe they dont last as long as a garrett turbo will but they get the job done. if you font hav eteh cash for a real turbo then this will work just fine untill you can spring for a real turbo. The super t70 turbo my buddy ran and still runs and made over 400whp at 26 psi of boost with his LS. and the turbo held up just fine. make sure its got plenty of oil and a good drain.
With that being said i would personally save up and just buy a garrett or a turbonetics or precision turbo. there worth the money

Re: wondering if this ebay turbo kit is any good, NOT SSAC (Turbo-LS)
Looks terrible.
Notice that it comes with an HKS "style" BOV, but shows a greddy BOV gasket
Also, does it come with a manifold?
That terrible BOV with the fake *** carbon fiber is enough to turn me off completely. Gross.

i've been on the boosted side for about 2-3 years with hondas. Just do it right the first time is my advice I have to give you. especially since you have a lovefab manifold. I am from wpg also and almost done my 400+ whp buildup.
Only thing I really wouldn't use from that setup is their turbo. BOV should be fine.
What are your power goals with the car and what kinda car? stock motor?

yeah just to let you know...I've dropped several turbos and havent broken any of them, a little drop breaks this damn compressor housing IN HALF. I dont care whether he dropped it, beat it with a hammer etc... its still a shitty turbo, im not starting an arguement.

If you have to ask, then its not good. Really these threads pop up almost every day, and unless its a greddy kit or a good name brand kit, its not worth it.
Piece one together, save money and learn something out of it.

Maybe it's just me, but I would never buy a turbo from a company who spells Exducer "excuder" and Major "Mayor".
Let's not leave out the fact that on the intake side, it's an Exducer and an Inducer, and the Turbine side is an exducer and a major. These guys are as cluless as the people that are going to buy them.
But then again, wtf do I know

Re: (SMSFAB)
the first thing i noticed, and proabably everyone else too, is that the whole stinking kit is only $425.00. that should tell you something right there.
