I've heard alot of bad stuff about those ssautochrome turbo kits,including one guys turbo manifold breaking off around the the welds and the BOV and wastegates are crap as well.I saw a kit without charge piping for Integra LS's for like $450,I know thats tempting but save your money and do it right.

People have made good numbers on them but they have a life expectance of any a few months, Year at most before issue start happening in the turbo itself.

^i have heard a lot of bad things about their turbos and how they fall apart like the picture above. It almost looks like its glued together.

I have never owned a ebay turbo kit, but i have read that their recent turbo manifolds are decent.

I find it funny that you are asking for people's opinions that "have" these kits.

Where do you think the original opinions came from that has spawned the hatred for these cheap as crap junk turbo kits? From people that purchased them and passed on their wisdom to others to stay away. The fact that you are contemplating them after 30+ threads and 100+ pages saying how crappy they are just tells me you're a moron. You deserve a kit like this if you are so willing to ignore the obvious.

lol...that **** looks like they used some Elmers school glue on them...get yourself a Revhard manifold,I saw an HKS B series turbo manifold on Ebay a couple days ago as well,I dont think those stainless steel manifolds can hold up to the constant heat cycling like good old school cast iron can.
