The SSAC T70's are as good a turbo that you can buy new for $300
that said, with proper break-in procedures, they're not bad turbos.
Use them at your own discretion/expense/luck?
Some people have had good luck with them, some bad. It's all in the break in, and I really think that you should add an inline filter to the feed line as well.
For turbos that are good and inexpensive, check out Master Power turbos, and sell the XSPower/SSAC turbo for a couple hundred.

I'm with Kurt. I'll be running a Master Power T70 on my 2JZGE, it definately looks quality. Unlike others, I'll report back with details on it.
We are using a T70 locally. However, I had it rebuilt and balanced before using it. The builder said the balance was decent, but the bearings used in the turbo were no good and probably the cause of premature failures.
We sell the T70 completely rebuilt with warranty for $500.

Ok I'm sold on the T70 turbo, but is it not going to lag like hell? Also what kind of manifold that's affortable do you guys recommend?

True but how much boost do they run on a daily basis?
Ours sees 16 to 17 psi every day, so it is a good test unit.

SSAC uses Garret turbo's I believe in there kits. The problem with their kits isnt the turbo, but the manifold. A lot of guys on this Honda forum I post on have or are using SSAC turbo kits. No problems with the turbo itself but the manifold's tend to either start breaking at the welds or crack under higher boost (8psi+). Plus I hear that SSAC has some serious customer service problems. I lot of people that I've talked to that have had problems with said kits try to call the people at SSAC only to get the run around.
well i have the "official ebay setup" turbo, manifold(modified version 2) and intercooler and wastegate
all i can san is the car os going to be fast for a long period of time i hope if not u will here from me

well i had to cut the last runner on the manifold to get it to fit with any clearence issues but i have also welded an tial wastegat flange to it now i just have to get a wastgate but im so busy building my sc400 i have stopped with the supra.
I've installed one of those turbo kits on a GSR and I am currently running there manifold the kit is missing little stuff that your going to need like lines hoses and etc. heres a pic of the kit I installed.
Also do not purchase your vacume hoses on ebay there cheap and there very poor quality.
Remeber to PREP the turbo or atleast on the first start up to hold the wheel on the cold side with your fingers for atleast 40 secs, then let go
WARNING: After it starts spinning dont touch the wheel.
