take it in the butt if that's what your into... oh, sorry your talking about a manifold - don't but

 

not to but...no buts about it.

 

but what the hell is going on but?

 

between this current thread, and the thread linked below, i dont know which one made me laugh more...thanks guys, this made my night...yea but no but yea

well its just the xs power side mount manifold. BUT still no then ?

 

not good

 

how bout these tunerz image kits?

 

i know a guy running a ls turbo in a 93 hatch. that runs low 12s with a ebay kit. dont know which kit tho. dont know what to tell you tho.

 

see thats thing i know sveral people that have used ebay kits that still are and run good. Then i also have a buddy who bought one and his turbo took a **** now hes running a godspeed turbo.


There offering me a xspower sidemount manifold, 70 trim turbo(just says turbo charger on it), wastegate, oil lines and fittings, downpipe and coupler for $400. And im really tempted to buy it but just dont want to have any problems......

it's hit and miss with ebay stuff. I've got a cast mani that has held up while my buddie's ssautocrap one has cracked, even with all the bracing.

 

^^what brand is your mani and how long have you been running it. Daily driver?

 

ttt

 

your going to get the same general concensus here on H-T that the ebay kits suck *** and dont use em. Manifold, Turbo, wastegate and bov are the parts you want good quality out of. Ebay intercoolers and piping etc are ok to use.

 

usually the cast iron ebay manifolds are pretty good! i ran a rev hard knock off cast iron, with a real 2.5 rev hard downpipe and fitment was fine. and ive run an ebay turbo too, it lasted 20k then took a poo but i had it rebuilt by blaastperformance and never had a problem with it.

 

95dc2teg those numbers are from your ebay turbo and mani? And is your car a daily driver?

 

the 306whp was made with my precision sc34. when i had the ebay turbo i made 270whp and 210tq, and ran 12.7. yes daily driven. my new setup is here though:

So your ebay turbo/manifold lasted 40k miles. I guessits really a gamble with em. What brabd was it xspower, powerxs, etc.

ROFL! Every good ebay/ssac/obx/xs thread has a few requisite "I know a guy" posts. Good stuff. I believe there is a very set formula for these types of threads:


1. OP asks some stupid ****
2. The first poster makes a clear, concise answer. The thread should be done at this point, but it inevitably continues.
3-9. Some other rando's come in and agree with the 1st poster, usually in a less grammatically acceptable manner.
10. The tenth poster "knows a guy"... Look out SFWD class, "some guy" is coming to a track near you, and he's equipped with XS Powa!


Ex:

&lt;OP&gt; Hai guyz, am I doing it rite?!
&lt;1st poster&gt; No.
&lt;2nd poster&gt; ebay/ssac/obx/xs sucks ***. dont buy it
&lt;3rd-9th posters&gt; i agree with the 1st poster. i have zero empirical evidence to support my opinion, yet ill still continue to go with the trend because it allows me to rack up posts and inflate my e-rep. when it comes down to it, i dont really possess the mental capacity to contribute anything useful to this thread, this forum, or this world in general, so you can probably just disregard anything ill ever have to say.
&lt;10th poster&gt; y0, this dude down the street from me runs 6's with that turbo y0. its hella tight. w0rd to yo motha. piece out snitches.

 

BTW, no disrespect to anyone in this particular thread. Just letting my mind run free for a while.

 

well i guess ill just have to piece together a kit. Ive been looking at the peak boost ftw kits. Seem pretty good....

 

you should also look into the AFI kit. Very good quality and cheaper than the peakboost or full-race
