twin turbo kit on ebay

I know the intercooler looks small, but it doesnt seem bad price for hardwear???
I know you would still have to deal with fuel and tuning, but I wonder if that will actually bolt on?

Re: twin turbo kit on ebay

I would get it, and just upgrade some stuff, but I dont think it is for TPI.

Re: twin turbo kit on ebay

I just thought it looked like a great start for tt setup. And I read some of his feedback and he seems to have pretty good quality stuff. It would just help out with some of the harder to do fabrication.

Re: twin turbo kit on ebay

Re: twin turbo kit on ebay

do you think it would help the header if you fabricated a bracket to support it from the turbo mounting flange to the front of the block??? I've been burning up the broadband looking for a decent 3rd gen tt kit to keep myself busy over the winter.... because of this site I know where not to go buy one from (hint: SS)... thx everyone for all of the good advise...

For you guys bashing the SS Auto chrome and all the other knock off china stuff.

I was in the same boat on WTF it cant be that good. Buz I can't even buy the SS material to make the same setup for what they charge.

Well I can fab stuff just find. Ive done a few turbo setups and decides WTF and bought some of the china headers to see the quality 1st hand and myself etc..

Well they just got here today and the WELDS look good. They have pleanty of penitration. They ahre nice heavy duty flanges. They are nice bends,etc..

for the price You can't go wrong. As with ANY TURBO HEADERS. I dont care if they are USA made China made or made by GOD himself. anything will need soe support for the turbos unless they are log style and the turbos are poped right on top like the banks manifolds.

As for fitment. Pic's have been posted of a few thrdgens running them. Im gonna fit em up in the next couple weeks on a junk motor in my chassis and picture it all etc....

Do I plan to use these..?? prob. not. because i already made a nice custom setup for myself. I just wanted to buy these and see the quality for myself and others who ask.

Re: twin turbo kit on ebay

that would be great to share the photos.....I certainly can't speak for experience of the ss kit as I have yet to purchase anything but I seem to have found more folks unhappy with them than folks who are happy with them..... I realize .."you get what you pay for"...but I do commend SS for building/selling a kit that is well within reach of most of us compared to other options out there....so I'm willing to tolerate some cosmetic issues/ect but what scares me the most is fabing the whole thing together just to have the turbos fail after a few miles....and if all it takes to fix that is a chamfer on the bearing within the turbo and the kit would stay together and work I would consider the ss kit the best deal out there.... look fwd to seeing your pics....
