Probably not, looks like an Ebay specific turbo kit,
so more then likely it's like the SSauto kits, which are Uber cheap.

Even finding JUST the charger for that much would be a steal, let alone the whole kit. Is it die cast or something?

25-35PSI.....LOL

I wonder if that size turbo can even put out that much boost, and then I wonder just how long an engine could last with that must boost and no tuneing???

That looks terrible...


Chinese made POS... look at the compressor housing, those seams are often held together by EPOXY. You would regret buying this, I guarantee it. Save that money and put it towards a reliable setup.

i work for a turbo shop and i've delt with a few people who bought turbo kits off ebay and they have the same senario over and over it seems the kit will last you about..... a trip around the block or down the street it seems before something goes wrong and the turbo blows! it seems the parts are factory parts which have got thrown out by quality control. and they balance like crap too

that is SS autochrome, look at the turbo, and the other listings, same thing, don't buy
you can find a good deal for a turbo if you buy a name brand, even one that is used, as long as its in good condition, i would rather get a good named used one than that ebay one for new, also, its cheaper to do it right the first time than have something go wrong nwith your engine and have to do it a second (or third) time
