Yeap, it's an XS power kit, so it's definately not the best.

Your looking for a "cheap turbo kit" and you actually have a b16b motor

put it together your self, and dont ask other people take your time and dont buy anything imulsively and ask if its good, lots of research will help out as well

no such thing as "cheap good" anything. I say you need to lower your compression first before turboing your b16b unless you have a good tuner to tune a high comp turboed motor.

For the money man and you just want turbo that kit... i mean its not ment for big power but 5 or 7 lbs would be straight dont bash the man he is just asking questions, For the bang of the buck, and no one likes them any way cause there cheap, and manifolds crack sumtimes, and etc lol

dude, search, there are at least 200 people that have tried this kit and have had serious problems, manifolds cracking, wastegates failing. etc. if u would buy the kit and change the turbo/manifold that would be the best route. or just buy a used kit

if you want a cheap kit just get that one and ditch the manifold for a cheap cast manifold.

I love how people just say SSAC sucks but dont provide any info, its like the new H-T bandwagon. If you want boost, cheap, then SSAC is your best friend. Their quality is known to be shitty but as long as you replace the manifold that should be a just fine starting kit...

Ive only seen ONE of their turbos literally fall apart [as has everyone else on this board of course] and thats what has become the common reference to the quality of SSAC, but 1 out of 6000 turbos is not a bad ratio.

Plenty of people are running their kits with no issues. Just keep in mind its a buyer beware type kit, you get what you pay for, if you want cheap boost thats the kit- if you want reliable boost, it wont be that cheap... or pretty.
