Default Turbo upgrade

i was wondering what you guys think about this turbo setup and also if you think i would need anything else for the installation. My current setup is a 16g with all supporting mods on a 96 gsx

Well I have this kit....It was on the car when I bought it. Only drove it 2wice before the engine crankwalked. I asked they guy I bought the car from and he said he was very impressed with the turbo for its "price", this isnt the same seller but the same product...He chose not 2 use the BOV tho. Didnt have a real reason. It seem 2 work very well with the little time i got 2 play with it.

the bov is a knock off TiAl 50mm... they can't hold anymore than 12lbs before the go kapooie. the turbo looks nice, but there is no name on it, there is no waranty, there are no returns... my opinion? you'll strap it on, and a 2-3 weeks later, goodbye turbo.

x2, That turbo should cost that alone, and your getting a tubular mani. IMO too good to be true.

ssautochrome sucks. The turbo is nowhere near as good as the real thing, the welds on the manifold probably suck,, the bov and wastegate look like they were made out of melted tin foil....dont trust a shady company that wont even stand behind what they sell you...
