Default So I've seen a bunch of these turbo kits on ebay..

I am curious to know if anyone bought one, or if they are beat.

He has a bunch of listings for these, but it seems too good to be true. Some of the stuff, brand names, they dont have any.

Thanks

no way... bet you been smoking that funk already huh.

seriously though dont they use like roto power turbo's or something goofy like that... ... very prone to early failures and poor quality control ensures it, that how they cut costs so much.

look at the bottom of the cooler... I would post it but it is ghey big pic of what I consider to be a weaksause kit soooooo.

seems like all their parts and designs are based on making a bunch of poor look alike knock-off versions of actual quality products.

The next bigest HT bandwagon besides JDM parts is Hating SSautochrome stuff. Some of thier stuff is junk but the other half you cant **** up. Like a blow off valve , piping, wastgate,. IDK about their turbos but alot of the stuff have gotten better.

The bolded part is the problem. I had one of these kits, and lets just say it was the worst purchase I ever made. Wastegate was OK, manifold cracked and I ended up throwing it out, and the turbo blew the seals and had shaft play before 4000 miles.

Never buy one of there turbos or mani. Turbo burnt up in less then 300miles mani cracked not long after.
