Oh look, they even have Honda turbo kits! Now that's a place i wanna do buisness with!

 

The turbo is made-in-China junk. It probably won't last long and could cause engine damage when it pops.

Even if you wante to run it, you still need a manifold, downpipe, FMIC, full fuel system upgrade, etc.

 

Stay away from that.

 

yea i know..it looks like junk...i just wanted to see if any1 has bought one...if there was even a slight chance that it was ok...dont worry...im not getting it...im looking to do a full aftermarket turbo setup with external wastegate and fmic...i already have the fuel system setup...i dynoed at 230hp and 201lbs/tq. with stock turbo, tmic, 720cc secondaries, walbro255, apexi neo, turbo back exh, and a slipping clutch...lol...i just want to get an aftermarket manifold with a good turbo and an external wastegate without breaking the bank....

from my experience with china/ssautoshit products, they have definately upp'd their quality from when they first started. the key is when you get the product, take it all apart and inspect it. that was the problem with their wastegates that were known to fail.. all you had to do was take off the top and fix the diaphram before you put it on your car and they were great.

a couple years ago a mechanic i know did a budget turbo kit for a customer who wanted it as cheap as possible with all new parts. it was like 75% ebay and for a year it was all good. no idea what happened after the year, they just checked up on the owner and the car after a year.

 

better off with the proven cheapo method: HKS or Greddy cast manifold and some kind of Turbonetics or Garret T04 turbo. I would trust those parts used over a new xspower turbo any day.
