you do realize those are both from SSautochrome.com, right? the first kit is 599, and the secound kit is 575. dosent make much sense....if you were gonna do it get the first kit. and the installed picture isnt the same setup there selling, its not even the same manifold (they say its painted black, but its not the ssautochrome) and I dont believe that is a turbonetics (there spec says its a .42 AR but the compressor housing says .50 whats up with that?) and thats a tial knock off...in my opinion I would just wait and get a legit kit or piece one together.

 

I don't know, I have had no problems with the SSAC manifolds, and have heard good things about the knockoff wastegates. The "Stone Mountain Racing" turbos, though, I can tell you from experience are junk.

 

I wouldn't recommend that wastegate to anybody. I've seen one let go(tial copycat) on a car I worked on. A used Deltagate would be a better bet than those imitation Tials.

As for the turbo, it let go soon after the dyno on the way home. It blew the oil seal on the exhaust side and smoked continously.

I can't say anything about the manifold because I haven't dealt with one yet.

Beware of SSautochrome and Ebay.

 

I wouldn't get it if I were you. I'd just save up some more and get a quality one that will last

 

thanx for the suggestions from everyone and i was thinking of upgrading the wg to a real tail wg becuase i dont whant to be hitting boost cut-off or anything like that. i was just thinking of keeping the mani. sell the turbo and get a t3/t04e and stick with everything else for about a year till i get everything custom made.

 

or obx? ive herd their parts are just repicas of teh good ****. let me know what yall think about this one.
