Default Vecco Turbo kits

Anyone know if these are any good at all?? if it wasnt the main concerns would be the manifold and possibly turbo itself?

Yea, they really don't specify what brand that turbo it is, and not all T3/T4's are made equal. Those guys seem to be a more domestic bunch

Yup, that looks like an obx design or ssautochrome or something. Basically a **** manifold that will crack and crap out on you. Don't buy that

Vecco =

Not a straight bolton kit, and the turbo is ok to keep. And that's about it.

Yep, my parents got me their ebay kit for christmas because it was cheap. I appreciate the thought but the parts were ****. I kept the turbo and wastegate. (The wastegate is crap too) Other than that I scraped everything else. I have been running the turbo at 10 pounds for 3 months now. It spools nice and quick. But just build a custom kit, it's worth it, you learn more and spend less.(Usually)
