After seeing that housing split in half ...looking like it was glued together .....that would pretty much convince me.
Depending on your needs you can get a good product and great customer service at many other places. You can choose to support some of the j-body companies on here or others. Personally I have had great experiences with Guillaume Nadeau at BlaastPerformance.com. I paid $625 shipped for a t3/t04b garrett/turbonetics hybrid(.63/.60), oil feed and return lines and fittings, internal wastegate, and gaskets. As far as customer service, anytime I have emailed, I have gotten a reply within 1-3 hrs. Seems like a pretty decent deal to me. I know you can find parts cheaper, but do they have a decent person or company to back them up?
Just a suggestion. Good luck with everything!

They come up on some DSM boards everyonce in awhile. Noone has anything good to say. Problem w ebay feedback, is you look at what you received and shortly after leave your feedback. Now a couple of months down the road the part fails what can u do?

yeah they are pretty much crap. check out Homemadeturbo.com and see what those guys have to say about the crap. all the manifolds crack, turbos falling apart, wastegates suck..and they have different aliases on ebay and sell to eachother to get better feedback

i have to agree.. they are basicly crap, leave there @!#$ for the honduhs.. i bought a turbo, and a wastegate the turbo well it was great! and still is i am not using it right now but i never had a problem with it.. now the waste gate on the other hand its @!#$. the shaft that is like a valve, well it wore out in like a week and wase leaking bad. i fixed it with some jb weld lol and now it works great but yeah stay away, but there ic's though i have heard nothing but good stuff from my friends who have bought them..

There are alot of Honda guys who have had problems with SS Autochrome / XS Power. Anything from their turbo manifolds falling apart, compressor housings cracking, to the seals in the turbo going out within a few months.




275hp & 306tq - 1999 2.2 ohv
13.2 @ 108 mph
-1996 2.4 liter + Turbo + Built motor + Torco + More boost = Lots o' Power
-2000 Mustang GT + 2004 Cobra motor, Whipple 2.3 supercharger,
built rear-end,Dodge Viper spec T56 6 speed, bolt-ons = wheelies at the track!!!!!

see the problem is with ssautochrome it all depends what u buy. coming from the 240sx crowd i can tell u their intercooler kits are actually decent except for one of the bends. The exhaust is great! but the kits are horrible and the manifolds are def known to crack, but hell, u get what u pay for when it comes to a manifold... They don't sell garret turbo units anymore only the @!#$ty xspower. I bought a garret unit off them awhile ago, was a great turbo and spooled great. i advise u to not buy any turbo from them or anything else of a no name brand.
