The manifold and intercooler are pretty good the turbo I would be a bit sketchy boost it hard and let us know how it holds up do a review for us.

Iirc the A/R's are WAY to big for any reasonable type of driving, plus you'd be surprised by how they are held together .

:nono: againwith this crap. people should actually buy the turbos and see for themselves and let that damn internet hoax die.starscream5000 said:Iirc the A/R's are WAY to big for any reasonable type of driving, plus you'd be surprised by how they are held together
I've already read up on people's experiences with the turbo's. These coments came from people who ACTUALLY bought it. Why would I waste my money on something someone else has already had a bad experience with?
for some reason, i do not wish to claim that you are lying, but it seems unlikely. My friend has a 1st gen alltrac wuth one of the 1st turbos they produced. its was a t67 or something. 30,000 kms its still kickin strong. i want to actually hear if your firends took them apart and found glue or w/e in those turbos.starscream5000 said:I've already read up on people's experiences with the turbo's.

It's completely fine that some people have good experiences with the turbo, it's just that there are those who have bad experiences too. Granted everyone's going to have good and/or bad experienes with any brand Turbo (Sound Performances issues with oiling for example ). No single brand is perfect. From my point of view I could just spend my money on a better brand and have a better chance of having no major issues with it. Anyone is welcome to spend their money on whatever brand they like, I was just stating my point of view on the brand . Another thing that isn't appealing about those specific turbo's IMHO is the combinations they come up with on the A/R's and compressor sizes. Depending on what you want to do with it, it would be fine for something not street driven due to the lag.

first off the exhaust a/r is way to big its 1.05 or somthing around 1 inch. thats way way to big secondly the internet hoax is true the xs power turbos at some point intime were cold bonded together i think however they have fixed it and now use bolts.
Holy shit not this dumb pic again this has been floating around the internet for years now I had a brand me Garrett fail on me and I do agree the AR is to big for our application but there are other ARs out there you can get.
I personally would not buy this KIT but this pic has been around for years!

yea its been around for years but still illustrates the point. the main thing to get out of this thread is
1. intercooler is good
2. manifold is good (relatively)
3. the exhaust housing on the turbo would need to be swaped out so the turbo can spool a ton better
personally if you want the intercooler and manifold i say buy it a sell the turbo to a local kid
