no, their stuff is crap, turbos are junk, only thing good is the charge tubing and the ic.

xs power = ss autochrome, and i've heard bad things about both.

Look on www.Turbomustangs.com , you will see all kind of stuff about them. FUnny thing is, nobody there has actually bought any of their stuff So why dont you buy some and tell us how it is!?

Ya thats whats funny, everybody says theyre crap but no one has yet to try them. Honestly, If I had the money, I would order the kit. I mean the only thing that can really go bad is the turbos, and those arent too expensive to replace with decent ones, but that's even if they go bad in the first place

lol, most people's responses were "fast shipping." thats it! in other words, **** parts that they want to get out their door as soon as possible. when it comes to this stuff, you usually get what you pay for.

i heard they use chinese made turboes which have a tendency to blow the impelors up. just a rumor, but i try to stay away from putting chinese **** on my car.

88_GT_5_oh · Oct 16, 2006

actually (and of course i can't find it now) i seen one case where the compressor housing split right in half like it was put together with JB weld

Ok in alll honesty, i would probably buy this kit.. here's why, so what if the turbo's suck, wont it still be cheaper to buy this kit, and when the turbo's blow replace them with good units? this would be way cheaper the 6k for some other high name brand turbo kit? and you would still have a name brand kit once you replace the turbo's with quality units?

No because what if the turbo blows and it ruins your motor??? Can you afford a new motor? Who is to say the welds don't suck ect.. Buy yourself the b&g hot side or ponydown and than a turbo, intercooler, and make your own cold side piping. Total cost for me was $2,000 with a b&g hotside, tial wastegate, ebay intercooler, mpt70 turbo and home made cold side.

Read this post from another site.

It a post of an integra with SS Autochrome stuff. The turbo manifold broke. Really cheap welds and poor fabrication of all their stuff.
