Umm. . . I see no BOV flange....

But I'd go for it because it's so cheap.

Wait, nevermind, I don't like buying cheap parts, because you get what ypu pay for.

And WTF are the fittings for? I didn't know an IC and piping needs some cheap *** AN fittings. . .

I would be interested to see how well the piping fits. That's a super good price for the intercooler + piping + couplers + t-bolt clamps...

Well it looks like a nice IC....but just what I said....looks...

After seeing how many SSAC manifolds cracked because of shitty welding and material, I wouldn't trust the intercooler's welds or construction in any way. And the piping, nothing is really welded there, so I don't see how that could break....I guess...

the ssauto mani's are know to crack under heat and not being supported....i cant really see where this could crack if supported properly....also i already have a bov and upper ic piping from my greddy kit....looks like a good deal to me....but the brass fittings puzzle me

goodluck

Maybe they throw in the AN fittings in much the same way they throw in the "aluminum underdrive pulleys" with their turbo kit... heh.

are you ******* retarded?
a turbo manifold is uner A LOT of stress; intercooler piping is under NO stress....
unless those pipes and i/c are made out of TIN FOIL they wont crack or blow up...

these h-t hating bandwagons need to stop inbreeding; their offspring are getting more and more retarded

I don't think it looks bad at all. It's a lot better than the mild steel crap I've seen sold on here recently. Besides, it's not a manifold. If you're trying to put together a budget setup, I see nothing wrong with these parts.

lol; want a cookie?
I can throw money away too but i choose not to.

I wouldn't buy an ssauto intercooler just becasue its not what i'm looking for. I have a jrc 6" and will be buying a JRC 8" in the near future. for the price it CANNOT be beat

i will say it doesnt seem to be a bad deal.

1. its bead rolled
2. its nice looking
3. c'mon its freakin piping, look @ all the BS setups we see on here, really. (duct tape connectors?!?!)
4. it comes with an intercooler thats better than nothing

bad parts
1. no BOV flange
2. what the f*ck car does that **** fit, not my EG!!!

so do what you want, its your money, but i dont see enough pipe to complete it from turbo to TB

I look at it this way. Yes it's cheap in $$, yes it will probably work fine........BUT with all the other shitty things they've made, I just don't want to support the company in any way. Even on a product that works....hopefully they just go away eventually.....

wow and a jrc 8" is half the price and 9.99/10 of the intercooler

you people are ******* retarded. Just because something doesn't cost a truckload of money does not mean its worthless. Yea it may be of cheaper quality but you dont need robotically welded xray certified welds on your ******* charge pipes.

and a bov is NOT THAT HARD TO MOUNT. any muffler shop can weld a flange on there for $5

If I'm not msitaken those look to be polished aluminum pipes. If that is true. hardly any muffler shop will be able to do that.

I used the same style kit from them on a customers car. He ordered it and i just put it on. His kit was for a civic coupe (1999), and i added a small pipe in there for the bov. The fit was ok, had to cut a pipe or 2. but it has been running for about 9 months with no probs. He payed like 200bone for all of it. I used to think your get what you pay for, but some times you get what you look for. Why is it that some places sell walbro fuel pumps for $135-$125 and other shops charge 85shipped? There are good deals out there. I purchased a manifold from them for my sr20det, damn thing was cracked in 40 spots in about a month. A year later my boy orders the same manifold from the same company for his sr. But his has a tad bit thicker walls, has been running it for almost a year now, zero problems.

i have a greddy kit and greddy fmic kit and i can tell you right now that very top pipe and bottom long one is for use without a fmic. meaning those are the same pipes you use and that came with the greddy kit to use without running a fmic.

look at the pipes closely, how are those going to run to the intercooler and then to the turbo? they wont. those are the exact pipes that came with my greddy kit but didnt use because i also got the fmic kit and it has totally different piping then that. trust me.

but the pipe to intake manifold is correct and the turbo air filter pipe is correct.

those intercooler cores are truly a poor quality core. probably the worst ive seen yet.
