So Im looking for a KA turbo manifold on ebay and run into this turbo kit. Anyone want to give me your thoughts on this? Too good to be true?

Is this even worth getting, it seems to be a no name turbo but the rest of the kid seems worth it, with the manifold and all. Give me some thoughts guys. Not to sound like newbie, but im skeptical.

XSpower... SS Autochrome makes them. i have one of their intercoolers and it works great. I have heard some horror stories about their turbos tho, although some have had success with it... a friend of mine just bought a turbo kit for his B18B motor. It looks decent..we'll see how it performs when its bolted on the car.

I'm curious about this setup as well....I know I could do the research...but I want to hear from people who have done this already, what else would be needed in this kit for it to function 100%, and what is the average cost?

maybe if you did some research you could find some people who have done this already :duh:

wish i could find the story of the kid who put an ssautochrome turbo on his manifold.....then not too much longer....the turbine housing CAME APART.....you could literally see where the housings sides were originally attached and how shoddy the workmanship was.......just some thoughts!
