I am having trouble finding a turbo kit for the third gen and im tryin to avoid having one custom fabbed. if any one knows if there is a kit out there since BBS design is no longer around please let me know where i can order.. thanks

 

Just stay away from the SSautochrom crap . They look sweet ...but aren;t apperantly ... lots of threads and pics on this here in a search

 

****. I've been out of it for ages. What happened to BBS? He was a total legend! That is a damn shame.

 

what happened was that the stuff was too expensive for what it was...then some company made a set like BBS' kit that was cheaper in price and his business disappeared.

 

I believe it was SSAC (ssautochrome) that stole his design and put BBS out of business...

 

Yeah, SSAutoChrome used their design and people were buying the cheap ripoffs instead of the quality product. As for overcharging, I'd have to disagree there. He had very reasonable prices and a great product. But thats just my opinion.

 

I see SSAC has some kits on ebay right now, $1000ca for both turbos, headers, intercooler and some goodies...

Even at that price i would be happy to only get a few moths of driving out of it! lol

 

Yeah i dont think i would want a part that wont last, but i would like to at least see one but for some reason i cant find it on ebay

 

This was the auction i was talking about. If anything, theirs got to be a couple dollars worth of scrap metal if it doesnt work out

Interesting. SSAC is no longer on EBAY USA, but still on EBAY Canada. I wonder what happened.

 

thats funny, i searched ebay.com and came up with the same auction...

43000 sales and they have over 98% positive feedback, how bad can the stuff really be?

 

yeh that doesnt look bad but i havent heard anything good about it so i dont know if it would be worth the money and labor... i might as well save some more and get a SC that i know will work

 

True, their is still ALOT of fabbing to do with a twin turbo setup like that. All they did was take care of the simple and usually very expensive parts!

 

I'd be hesitant to buy their turbos. yea their headers had a bad rep for a while... they had bad quality control..but for how little they cost.. spend some time making two brackets to support the weight and the headers will last a little longer. no turbo header will last forever, you'll have to replace them sooner or later.
