Default Ebay Turbo

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...27322

A Turbo kit for a b16 for less than $1000, is this serious? I find it hard to believe that this is of any quality. Has anyone tried this one out? Ive got a 89 crx si that im dropping a b16 in to. Should i go with this turbo kit?? Thanks

the ssac kits are ****. stay away from them. the seals blow on the turbos on the first run, they are assembled using poor quality control methods and shitty internals.

thats ss autochrome bullshit, dont bother with that unless you dont plan on having your car runnign for tha tlong, the ss autochrom manifolds are made fo junk. I mean I've heard some people having ood luckw ith these and if this car isnt your only car but a kick aroudn car, I myself would but this.

Well, the intercooler is decent, although waaay too big. The manifold will work, I used one for a while, replacing it only because I wanted more room under the hood. Never heard anything good about the turbos, though. Does look like you get a decent downpipe and a really long flex pipe.

But even this kit is missing some really important things. Like maybe a dump tube?
