but the 2nd gen (bottom mount) doesnt crack.
If your looking for 200-250hp with only 7-8psi then i would go with ssa. Also their only $150 shipped >_<

Honestly i dont think the ssa kit would be worth it... its almost guarunteed* to give you problems... if you really want to turbo the motor save up for something you can trust

well if it's "guaranteed" problmes, how does the company stay in business? well on ka-t.org alot of people are using the mani and downpipe's so idk what's wrong with the kit? well is it specifically the GTRS28 that u think will give me problems? who here can actually speak from experience with the kit?

Check Ebay.
And I have no experience with an SSA on my car, but I've seen it on other cars- cracked, of course.
If you still want to gamble on it, it's your $.

ssa 2nd gen manifold are ok 
have lots of friends that have them and they have had no complains.
but there turbo are bad
there seals are bad.. theyll leak oil like a mother.
its hella cheaper to piece it together..if u want a mild 200hp it will only cost around $1200. thats if u install/tune it urself.
but if ur lazy buy a kit.
im piecing my **** together..its half way done. =]
