Same as the ssac ****. But there are a few guys on theturboforums.com running the headers and seem to be fine.

Re: TURBO SETUP???
search for ebay turbo kits... you will find plenty of comments (same kit). apparently there are issues with the oiling setup on those turbos.. prone to bearing failure.

Re: TURBO SETUP???
Well i dont even want to think about a ebay kit. They seem to me like the company has cheaper made parts than this. Is it the oil cooling lines that cause all the problems? or the turbo bearings themselves.

Re: TURBO SETUP???
if i recall, its the bearings and how they are fed. seriously... do a search on ebay turbo kit or something to that effect. there are cases where they are held together with epoxy, have poor oil feed journals, waste gates being cheap and sticking, etc etc. if something looks to cheap to be true, it probably is.
