I remember hearing really bad things about ssautochrome

If you're all about being cheap, just piece one together or buy a used kit off someone on HT.

Search and you will find a ton of posts. Their turbos and manifolds are junk.

Look in the Forced Induction forum for your answers.


Here is someone running turbo parts off ebay on their d-series motor.

It all depends what your goals are. Greddy, Apexi, Edelbrock, Drag, Rev Hard, Full Race, Inline Pro, Peak-Boost, etc or you can piece together your own kit.

Just get a greddy kit and call it a day. The 5-6 psi the kit runs should get you there.

There are a ton for sale in the FI classifieds for a good price.

all of those posts are old as expletive, i have an ssautochrome kit and so does my friend. but one thing i will say is you do have to brace the manifold at the factory braces, but ****, other than that everything looks great!!! and works great!! so from personal expereince i would reccomend it. 100% get ur manifolds braced though. u cant beat 1000$ for it though

complete **** for the most part.

The intercooler and pipe kit is decent though. otherwise just piece your kit together. If you dont know what is needed, research

yeah EVERYTHING is good except the manifolds on ssautochrome.. so whats the big deal, ditch the mani and buy a good new one for 400 and u have a complete kit for 1400?? not bad in my book.. alot of people on here buy for name brand ****, just cause it says greddy or inline pro on it doesnt mean its the ****
