Re: (vtecrob16a)
that stuff scares me...
but what really scares me is that fact that they felt that making a complete turbo kit would be a "Good" idea....

Re: (pornstarSR)
You know those welds look pretty sturdy, and I've heard good things about their intercoolers.
I think SSautoshit is slowly turning around......OBX did...their recent stuff isnt bad at all

Re: (exospeedAMcrx)
Since when did they start making cam gears and pulley's? That must be a new thing. They do try hard and make it look real good. Hell when I was looking for a turbo kit I seen it and went nuts till I searched it and changed my mind. I can't wait to here the new stories on that manifold!!!

Re: Peakboost Autochrome (Motorhead_AZ)
i'd worry about the turbo and the manifold. the collector on the manifold looks like their infamous tin can collector on their older manifolds

Re: (DaX)
Just as with their EL manifolds, I'm sure it would work fine if properly braced. Just as a rule of thumb you should not use a SSAC manifold as a structural member.
Which makes me wonder.... If they are selling a complete kit to include t-bolt clamps, why don't they go ahead and make a bracket?

and AEM knock off cam gears too...
they make their parts look pretty....only if they try as hard to make them reliable/quality products.

Re: (Full-Race Geoff)
On the web page it says that the kit uses a brand new Garret turbo. If they use a Garret turbo, then why do they only last a couple weeks? Is it just a replica that they tag as a Garret? 
I've seen some close up of their turbos and the look like cheap junk and now they say this is a Garret, maybe ther meant to say Garret Type turbo, IDK

Jeff, can you elaborate on the intercooler quality? Is it just low fin density or general construction?
