Do a search for "ssautochrome"... there is a lot of information about these turbos/manifolds etc...

And, no... please don't buy that kit!

Too many reasons to list!

The best thing to do it just buy quality parts the first time... doesn't have to be the name brand or whatever, but quality... you don't want to have to deal with this...



or this...



It will save you time and money in the long run to get quality parts the first time around...

do not waste your money. i just put one of those pieces of sh@t on a b20 vtec. the w/g spring is a 14pd spring, the pipe flange doesnt bolt up, the piping is a round as your dick and so is the down pipe the the cat.

Little off topic, but man that car is leaking some oil. The picture of the split in half turbo is priceless. I thought it was fake the 1st time I saw it here on the site.


Anyway, there have been alot more bad stories than good ones about ssautochrome.
