I bought a turbo "kit" from CXracing that was supposed to allow me to bolt in their manifold, turbo, downpipe, etc. They DO NOT stand behind their products. I realize that no turbo kit is going to be a drop in, but their kit, not even close. The manifold fit okay but didn't come with the wastegate flange welded on (as pictured). The turbo has excessive shaft play (wheel hits the compressor housing). The downpipe is 9" short from top to bottom so it wouldn't fit at all. The oil feed line and all of the turbo fittings they supplied were wrong. No coolant fittings were supplied. After multiple attempts to contact my salesperson and Kevin, I got no response at all.
So my $1200 turbo kit ended up costing me a lot more + the ton of extra fab time. It just wasn't worth it.

From my experience, Cxracing will be happy to take your money but they will do absolutely nothing but ignore you if you have an issue.

I would never consider buying another part from CXracing.

Well as I was saying I stand by their cooling products but I wouldn't go cheap on things even near the turbo.

Sad thing is, right after I posted this, I heard about a guy that belongs to the Hybridz.org forum that had the same exact issue as me.

Ive had nothing but good things to say about there customer service, (cant say anything yet about product) but i recently bought there front mount kit for my s14 with sr20 redtop, and i did not notice it because i bought from there ebay store, that i could have gotten black couplings instead of blue, called them up spoke to a lady, she said not a problem send them back, and we will replace them with black ones. Also spoke to one of there techs for fitment questions on the core, he told me everything i needed to know about the brackets, three days later i had my black couplings on my door step.

Mostly depends who you talk too, and how you talk to them.
