yeah ssautochrome sucks. they have had turbos break apart and manifolds crack apart. definitly a waste of money.

Also if I read that ad correctly, it says that it has a .48 a/r turbine which is ok for low RPM's, but at high RPM's you'll start to get choked up. IMO, you should get a 0.63 a/r turbine instead.

do not get anything related to ssautochrome aka stone mountain racing, or turbocalculator. i hear 10 bad things for every 1 good thing.

the t3/to4e 60 trim will be a nice turbo if you plan on running above 8 psi. for less than that go to the 50 or 57 trim. stick with the .63 a/r turbines

alot of seal problems too if i remember correctly..

that company must obviously be ran by monkeys.. they obviously don't come here to see what people are saying about them.. they must be able to make those turbo's REALLY cheap if they can afford a return rate as high as i bet they have
