From the research I have done on other sites with toins of turbo info, Do not buy anything from SS Autochrome.

yep, exactly what they said above, if you search on honda-tech, they have a whole long review about it, but i have also talked to some people on clubel, who have success with this...

but from all the readings i have seen,
Only the manifolds are crap, they have the tendency to crack, and you will have to re-brace them also...
I have also read about the turbo splitting in half.. but that was only on one innident... so if anything if you do pick up this setup and the manifold cracks, you can pick up a new one farily cheap...

ssautocrome=ssautopoop. get what you pay for. i've seen their compressor housing fall apart because they were glued together, their manifolds crack because they use very thin pipe... haven't found too many people who are happy with their turbo kits.
