HERES THE CORRECT LINK—>http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7971365449&category=33742
its junk…People come into my shop with that kinda shit, and i will not install it. The manifold flanges are always warped, and i have a couple of those cheap ass turbos laying around with bent shafts. You get what you pay for…
Please tell me you didn’t buy that POS.
XS-POWER = STONE RACING = SSAUTOCHROME = CRAP
That MANI is known to crack, that turbo housing has split on peeps not to mention bent shafts galore. The wastegate will only do 10-18psi. Not only is this entire “kit” worthless its no where near complete, figure on spending at least another 1k to get even close to being complete.
Search here and Honda-tech, everything I’ve posted has been covered over and over.
Save your $$ until you can afford quality parts.
not to high jack or anything but i was gona do this -

i thought that was a good price for all three o those… i was gona boost 12psi… is all that really that worthless?? thanks for the imput chuck.
Yea its that worthless. Save you $$ for a rebuilt Garrett. Do some research before you buy, you will be much happier and your engine will last much longer. 
Wouldnt touch that thing with a 10ft pole.
Is there anyway we could pin a what not ever to buy thread? Maybe with links to posts and those picks of the split housing. This question gets asked ALOT.
there is a kid in clubcivic that has that kit on his car.
the only problem he encouterd was that the exhuast manifold cracks easily so he used flex pipe between the downpipe and exhuast piping.
i think he is boosting around 9psi. i will try to get the link if anyone cares.
here is one link to some peoples suggestions who are using the kit.

i have an ssautochrome kit and i have had no problem with the manifold or the turbo i had an issue with just the wastegate them i know for a fact are big pieces of shit but as far as my manifold goes it has seen 20psi and has not crack at all i think the first ones they cam out with were not braced but the one i got from them was braced in three locations . many people say there manifold is shit because they crack but as far as i am concern alot of manifolds crack i have heard of sfp manifold cracking and they are soppose to be really good .
I’m gonna stick with “Its Junk!” Not only are the parts questionable you aren’t saving that much $$ by going this route.
That “kit” is $500. SS Mani, noname wastegate and noname turbo.
I got a used SFP manifold, Deltagate Wastegate and a rebuilt T3 for $700.
from what I’ve heard and seen what can happen, I would rather not go this route. It’s not even worth what you pay for this crap, see what happen to this SSAUTOCRAP MANIFOLD, and Turbo:::
PRETTY much glued together!!! :shrug: we aksed the same question?
yeah, funny that it’s braced and wasn’t even where it cracked. those are 2 different turbo’s, both crap that SSautocrap sells. ask around about Stone mountain products!! what a joke. I’d advise everyone NOT TO put this crap on there car!!! check this out
[SIZE=7]STILL want this CRAP???[/SIZE] :down: :down: :down:
Think ill blow anything boosting 4 pound on a 93 gsr,using this kit.That all i really want
before i got to the last post i was thinking to myself… only good this would be would be for a wastegate sound… and sure enuf… looks like thats prettymuch what he wants for 4lb boost lol
manifold is still crap and will crack… 
Dude, are the pictures above not enough to change your mind? I wouldnt want to buy a big bag of shit, but thats about the equivalent to what you are getting. Do yourself a favor and save your money on some more quality parts 
yes the manifolds crack, some last 2 weeks, some last 2 years. the pic of the second turbo, it was dropped and cracked. ANY turbo when dropped can crack. I wont vouch for these shitty products but, they do work, the question is how long…
i searched for garret in turbo section on ebay… and some of these things came up… would suck to be a stupid consumer… (at higher prices like garrets too)
In the pics on the auction (of the first one) the mani isnt even bolted all the way one, its missing most of the bolts on bottom…says “its snug, but no block shaving needed”…yeah so snug that you dont even bolt it all the way down, haha I only see 4 bolts holding it on!!
