That kit looks different then the xs-power one.

the pictures of that kit are definately not for and FD.

the manifold looks like its for a 4-banger
and the turbo looks like a t3 flange

Here's a couple hints -- the guy buys 2 Honduh kits from SSAC for about $750 each:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=8012517726

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=8012698464


And now he's selling "generic" kits for every car known to man for the rock bottom price of $1000 (or more)??

I'm with these guys -- you don't know what you're getting, there are no specifics and the descriptions are sketchy and misleading at best.

For the budget kits, I like the kit rx7store.net sells. It's the 62-1 kit for about 1,900 or something.

well just the manifold it looks like. The manifold is a quality piece. If you get the one with thicker flanges and nicer welds. I wish i woulda got a 62-1 =\

A bigger turbo woulda been nice.

Yes I should have added I'm not attacking Jason, as I believe he's also said it's a reworked manifold. I just thought the previous poster's comments were funny

So the ebay manifold is worth the $100.00 they ask for it???? Does it fit? What about the flange, what turbo can be bolted onto it????(besides the 62-1)

Assuming its worth it and I get it, where can i get a downpipe?

U gotta go to a muffler shop to get the downpipe made.

I guess so..its cheap, and its held up so far, if it ever cracks u cud pick up another one for 100 bux...but with the thicker flanges and better welds. i think this one will last for a good amount of time. It fit perfectly okay for me. The Flange is a T4. U could bolt up any T4 turbo, basically as long as its not T3 flange. AF61, Garrett GT turbos, T04s, T04r pretty much any big turbo.

Our kit does use the SS autochrome manfiold. We add the vband for the tial wastegate and do any rewelding if needed, but so far these manifolds have held up well.

I also carry a downpipe if you want to buy that seperately. It will work with that manifold and a turbo using a 3 inch vband.

I can also sell a combo of manifold, downpipe and wastegate if you want to source the turbo yourselves.

3 inch downpipe for the ebay manifold is $350. I have them in stock.
You might be able to get it done cheaper at an exhaust shop, I dont know.

Downpipe and manifold together are $700. That includes the tail wastegate flange welded on. You would have to get the tial 44mm wastegate.

you want to know about ebay turbo kits huh? I am just the person to ask..., I had to replace the hks style wastegate they include with the kit on day one because it sucked and wouldn't work properly.
And the xspower 60-1 turbo I bought crapped out after 2800 miles, puking oil everywhere! 2200miles were from breaking in a new motor. POOR QUALITY! save your money and put it toward a proven turbo.
