Re: Turbo Projects
Also said it in my topic but i shall post it again.
SSautochrome = xspower = obx (ebay)
In the early days the kits where bad. Bad turbo`s,bov and mani`s. But they have improved their kits. Now a lot of people run it. There`s only one major weakpoint left, the manifold. But if you reinforce it (so all the weight of the turbo doesnt effect the manifold) that problem is solved. The turbo`s are better/good and no more problems with the bovs. So for the money it are good kit`s. It is always what you pay is what you get! Dont aspect for that money the same quality as a greddy kit or so. The pakkage arrive`s with a lot of stuff (often to many bolts and so) but there is need often many modifacation to let it fit proberly.
edit: ow, and euro - dollar is verry positive now

Re: Turbo Projects
I see. So they are equal to ebay turbo kits. For light turbos i think they could be good
Re: Turbo Projects
Dont know if every ebay kit is the same. I recommend ssautochrome above ebay.

I wish it was so simple. i am more inclined to a 145hp n/a set up with close gear ratios and lightweight construction as possible.
