QUOTE=lv6l]i am using an ebay ssautochrome kit and got flame by a lot of you people before i had it on. well i can proove it now that it's been running great for while now. no cracks, no problems.

its not how you run it, its how you install it.[/QUOTE]


i dont think its how u install it u just got lucky, its like a car buy a used one u dont know what ur gonna get, buy a new one then u know there is nothing wrong with it, so u are just buying cheap stuff buy something off quality then it will last . cheap **** is not always the best.

i can't say for other ebay companies but i can say ssautochrome/xspower is improving their products. my friends have used them before and you can tell the difference in manifold and turbos. they have a bracket supporting the turbo housing together and the manifold are all reinforce tig weld with braced.

well that renders 500 of it spent worthless since 500 of that is the turbo
just make your own...
or save up and go through greddy or something

Listen, everyone is telling you that it's crap, which is an opinion. Just because it is cheap does not mean that it won't work. However, you can expect a $3000 turbo kit to put out more power, reliability, better looks, and just a more enjoyable drive all together...even if the kits are generally the same. KEY STATEMENT: " You get what you pay for"
