and

www.amstreetrod.com

remember the amstreetrod.com measuremnts are pipe fittings, although they were super cool to me when i ordered the wrong part lol

for fitting them, use an oil sandwich adapter. Super easy, my eBay one worked just fine.....Golden Eagle makes a nice cheap one though

What is wrong with the kit? Looks like a good start it has all the major parts manifold, intercooler, piping, dp, bov, wastegate and turbo. All I feel you would need is fuel management and bigger injectors?? I do feel that piecing together your own kit is a better and cheper way to go. Just wondering what would be wrong with this kit??

quality is what's wrong with them.

if i built a turbo kit that had a manifold with horrible welds, a turbo with cheap seals and bearings, and didn't do research before I built the parts, but it had all the major parts, would you buy it?

there's a reason the ebay kits don't have brand names on them... nobody would put their brand name on such a ****-poor product.


"Why you don’t buy SSAUTOCHROME-Marty

This is what it ends up being folks.

1.R & D = money and time spent by the company
2.Materials = money spent by the company
3.Advertising and promotion = time money spent plus the time spent locataing/signing retailers up for product dispersement.

This company(SSAUTOCHROME) is able to put such cheap kits on the market cause

1.There is no research and developement that has gone into their products this is why the mani's dont fit,piping is not right,turbos come apart,cracks,leaks,and all out failure comes with these kits.
2.The materials speak for themself.Manifolds seperating,boost controllers leak,**** comes apart at random for the most part.
3.Advertising....they have none.All their advertising is word of mouth,countless ebay names,and two websites.


If you are a true enthusiest you will see this company is nothing short of a scam and a joke.You simply do not take shortcuts when doing such a major mod to your car and yes a turbo is a major mod requiring fuel maps to be changed quite a bit and your cars reliability depends on the componets not failing.What happens when your runnin 10 psi on a t3 super 60 on a stock D series engine making around 210whp and your boost controller fails and lets you spike to 15/16psi.......your engine is toast more times than not.

It is simple,when buying any kind of turbo kit;you get what you pay for end of story.So dont throw your money away on this crap.



If you would like proof of this to be able to make this a sticky let me know cause I can get pics of mani's broke in half,turbo's split down the middle,piping not fitting and so on

Also SSAUTOCHROME likes to try and fool people

Here is a add from SSAUTOCRAP--- http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/T3-T4...90359739QQrdZ1

and another one--- http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Civic...90956711QQrdZ1

This is a "non ssautochrome add" [sm=badidea.gif] http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Honda...91279567QQrdZ1

Notice the pics,products,and so on are the same.Notice they dont say who makes the manifold....there is a reason for this.No company with any good standing in any market would put their name on that.I mean who would put their name on a manifold that cracks cause of the weight of the turbo alone"

GReddy and Edelbrock are the best bang for the buck kits.
Both can be found on eBay I think. They aren't complete kits, but they are nearly complete.

Best bang for the parts is kind of vague. Parts are different because it's easier to find used parts for sale than entire kits.
