This has been covered 100000000x times.
The turbo, turbo manifold, bov, wastegate are all useless.
Btw, the turbo is not pictured.

I have seen ssac, xspower manifolds fail within 24 hours of install.
I have seen the turbos fail on start up.

How do I know this ?
People bring me cars all the time to tune on this garbage.
Some of the cars actually make power as they should & don't fall apart instantly.
They eventually call me telling me about the manifold or turbo failure they had.

I tell them "I told you to sell that garbage."

this is what i wondered. i realize that the ebay thing has been covered more times than eg hatches on h-t but i really just wanted to know if this guys stuff is different and who is supplying this garbage..i intially assumed it was all coming from the same place. but the manifolds all have slight variations to them. maybe my eyes deseve me.

I should post pictures of a local guys ebay kit failure. The entire collector and two runners failed, and the turbo seized.....all in one day.

I'm going to be the first to say out of all of these ssac threads, that the guy who created this ****...is a pure genius hes probably sitting pretty right about now after selling this crap.

im just going to say buy it...I dont care anymore.

Ripping off another good design with inferior products for half the price isnt something new. Look at kia's and hyundias lol.

Anyway, im surprised that they include so much in this kit. Honestly, for a mild setup you could buy this kit and use all the misc hardware ic, piping, fittings, etc. and then upgrade mani, turbo, wastegate and have a pretty cheap kit pieced together overall. Quality will still be ebay standard but quanity is pretty good for the price.

something seems real fishy about this. that price i just think is too good to be true, if you can actually say that about the junk that comes with it,

but it also says it comes with "cams and pulleys"???? i would be scared to use any of those parts considering it is a "complete" turbo kit that also comes with an intake and cams etc.... something just seems like there is gonna be like some major bs once you recieve it.

but i see your point its very cheap and alot of those parts could be used, if you scrap the manifold, turbo, bov, and wastegate you could actually use the other parts and probably make out ok.
