Re: ssautochrome turbo pics please
found a few shots. they still won't fit my chassis, so we'll see what I end up doing. For how cheap they are, even if they fail, I could buy 5-7 sets before I got into the price of getting a set made up. As long as you make support brackets for the weight of the turbos IMO I don't see them having a problem though.

Re: ssautochrome turbo pics please
I can tell you that the single turbo setup comes with a warped flange that needs to be milled or filed. The crossover pipe hits the starter and the causes a 1/4" gap at the flange to head surface. Needs a cut & weld or heat and bend. A stock 12SI alternator can't be used with a TO4E compressor. Really need a driver's side alternator mount. The WG pipe points at the back of the smog pump. The pipe wall is thin. The welds are not good S/S welds.
If you cut it up and weld it a little it would work. I would make a brace to help support the turbo too. It can be used but you get what you pay for.

The turbos themselves aren't bad. I, and many friends, have used them successfully. Just don't expect to get the trim/wheel size that is advertised, but all in all, most are built quite well (and share Gerrett components).
