turbo kits

[boostedEJ2]

Hey, i just wanted to know if the turbo kit from ss autocrome is a ok kit for power and quality. mainly if just the turbos from them are good or atleast ok for power? let me know

[M@]

Eh, you get what you pay for. Their manifolds are junk and crack almost instantly. They're turbos are known for going bad rather quickly, same with their knock-off wastegates. The only thing that they might be good for is intercooler/intercooler piping.. but once again, you get what you pay for.

[boostedEJ2]

Go 'til stuff on the kit breaks. In the meantime, piece together a better custom kit.

just wait til you can afford the good stuff instead of substituting. you're just wasting money if you eventually need to replace it anyways.

You can find a T3/T4 for a good price at www.cheapturbo.com (aka www.PhoenixTurbo.com). I've heard nothing but good things about them.

That is the same company that makes Peakboost. They have some good deals on their manifolds right now on HT.

thats a good looking kit.. to bad i dont have a b series

i havent had any problems with my ss autochrome wastegate, but the first turbo i ever put on my car was a ssac t3 and it held up for a little while, but when i got a hole in my intercooler piping, that turbo went quick. I have to say that the manifolds suck and the turbos produce ok power, but not for long. yet again, as said before you get what you pay for.

They have a sick topmount as well, I wish i got my hands on previous to ordering mine, but it wasn't out yet... :(

I know some peoplewho use their wastegates, I actually have a new one on a shelf in my shop. From what I understand they sometimes don't have all the bolts tightened internally. I've heard that if you take it apart and make sure everything's tight, then it should work fine. If I ever use mine I'll take it apart and tighten/high-temp-loc-tite everything before I put it on the car.

I like turbonetics.

[floored4door]

Or Garrett or Precision. All good manufacturers. (sp)

i have seen some ssauto kits work extremely well and others burn down with fire. its realy a a crap shoot on weather you get a good one or not.
