page not available.
from what i have read here, the manifolds are not that good.
I was looking into the same thing and i searched and found complaints about the manifolds cracking.
But i do not know if that is the same style of kit as the page wont load for me.

Yes, you have all talked about it in about 9 hundred posts, and I couldnt find one clear answer in any of them. So.... why is this kit bad? I hear rumors of manifolds cracking, is that it? I just dont see how a turbo kit should cost 4K +. It doesnt add up.

I hear ya brother. Where are the budget kits if this one sucks so bad? For those of us with daily drivers that dont want anymore than 200-250 rwp? Heck, some honda boys dont even use a damn intercooler. I want my sub 1K turbo kit darnit!

Your not going to be able to find a good quality budget turbo kit... If your on a tight budget like I was then you've got to do some research and put a turbo setup together yourself. you can go with a t25 setup for very cheap but its going to take some time... do a little searching and feel free to ask any questions you have about it. If you really want a cheap turbo setup, this seems to be the best way to do it.

sounds nice... intercool it, could use sr sidemount, get walboro fuel pump, an sr dp should line up, get the oil lines and you should be pretty cool. Search around a little more and collect as much info as you can. good luck
