Personally, I wouldn't bother with it. If you're going to spend that much already, continue saving and purchase a better system.

I looked at their warranty and saw that it covers the actual turbo itself for 1 month....see how long that lasts ha

Says it is for an SS, so you may be disappointed in the performance and fitment. Then you have to worry about tuning.

mmm, yeah I just noticed that too about the SS part. my bad! Hows your build coming along Gretchen? I haven't looked for any updates on yours yet

Putting her on the dyno a week from tomorrow. She feels strong and definitely a lot of fun to drive.

I would probably be willing to give this kit a shot!

JohnnyBfromPeoria · 10-31-2013, 11:43 AM

I wouldn't. No-name turbos scare me.

It can't be any worse than the SC kit I had. We replaced my "kit" with a blow drier and bendy straws and seen nearly double the power.

Well if you read through the whole thread seems like something went wrong but doesnt say where or how, but the vendor seems to have went out of his way a lot to get it fixed and once he did the guy didnt post up the good news. Most people will be quick to open a thread when something goes wrong but when things go right they barely ever report it.

if you want a truly bolt-on kit, IPS kit is a way to go!
