God damn that's a good deal. Do they have one for a Greddy flange, or can you fit a Greddy on the 1g bov flange? I would REALLY consider this if they have one for a Greddy flange.

I'm totally in!! Thats so damn cheap!! Whats that second piping kit? Is that a 1g kit? I've got that same bov on my talon, it the exact same as the tial one. It even has a tial spring inside who knows it's probably made by tial they just etch tial in and charge $50,000 for it.

That is one hell of a deal and I'm in the market for a FMIC too.... I can't bring myself to do it though because of the vendor. It's a personal thing. Let me know how those kits work out though.

I really want to do this, but I'm gonna be on the t25 for a while. I just think this big of an IC wouldn't help out any, or maybe even decrease performance unless one of you guys say different lol. I'm also not that happy that a bunch of stuff has to be cut/relocated, and that I would have to drill new holes in the 1g flange.:frown:

Damnit, if I didn't have to buy those new rotors last week, I'd have money for this right now! ARGH:banghead:

You would benifit going from a smic to this fmic. It's not huge. It is big, but your knock counts will decrease becasue your charged air will be significantly cooler. And you'll beable to run more then 3 times at the track without having to shut down for a half an hour.

You will have to do some cutting on the bumper for the bends to fit onto the intercooler, and you will need to relocate your overflow tank. Big deal. You can just buy a 1g bov from one of us or online for $20..

Just a question...

I know everyone hates SSAUTOCHROME....and for good reason. They sell crappy shit that breaks and dosn't hold up. So why is everyone doing business with them still? There are so many threads and articles online that complain about this company and their shoddy parts and service. I know it's really cheap and some pipes and an FMIC are not to hard to screw up, but it's just helping them out as a business. The object is to boycott business that fuck people over, not group buy from them.

I got no beef with them. I would like to see what the intercooler looks like from inside its inlets. But what can you do.

I've actually never read anything definitively bad about ssautochrome... I know a lot of ppl turn their noses up at "eBay" products, but there are a lot of ppl over at the DSMtuners classifieds that say they've actually bought and used these ic's and are happy with them. That's the only opinion (besides my own) I would credit... not someone that "thinks" the products are cheap/shoddy just because they don't have a Greedy or HK$ logo. My 2 cents.

But if we're talking about turbos, I guess that would be a different story... I wouldn't buy a turbo from anyone other than a very established company.

I agree completely. The only way this POS company will dissapear is if people stop buying their crap. Fuck SSAutochrome and anything they make.

No. They have been documented to break. It's not just people thinking they do. People have posted pictures of the manifold that just broke in half leaving the turbo/exhaust to fall to the ground while they are driving. Some of their turbos are GLUED together, which obviously didn't last too long. They're customer service could better be called if you don't like our products breaking we will call you childish obscenities and yell at you. If you search I posted some of their comments to people that posted negative feedback on ebay. One of the comments was something like "go pull on your mommas dress you sissy faggit!" Think if you went to the bank and they said that to you. :wtf:

Hope you guys don't mind modding twice.

Either mod right, or mod twice. There is not such thing as cheap modding. This car shit is expensive, that's the way it always has been. You get what you pay for, simply put. You guys are going to run the good DSM vendors out of business and hurt your car eventually at the same time.

Dude what the fuck is your problem.... Tell me what could happen to the FMIC and the Piping? The paint could chip? This isn't a god damn turbo here, it's a fucking FMIC... I am sure they are pressure tested, no one is a dick unless they are treated like one. No one has asked about what you think of the company have they? Then shut it, this shit pisses me off. Good DSM vendors? bah! They over price everything from exhausts to gauges... Everyone could make an exhaust for under $200. But yet companys still charge $600+++++

Don't try to act like you have any fucking clue what you're talking about. What could happen to the FMIC and piping? Well, how about shitty heat dissipation, raised knock counts, how about pinhole leaks, how about the fucking thing just falling apart on your way to work, how about the inside of the piping flaking off into your engine.

You're right about one thing, it's "not a god damn turbo", but guess what, when they do make and sell those turbos, what happens? They fucking split in half to reveal GLUE, that's right, fucking glue was holding that turbo together. Now, if SSAutochrome puts that much care into something that spins at 100k+ rpm, what do you think they'll put into developing a fmic?

Quit thinking with your wallet, and try using your head, it might hurt, but it's worth it.

I would watch what you see about vendors because if it wasn't for RNR, Buschur, and all those other vendors you would likely be trying to build your own custom turbo kits out of scrap metal.

If you want to fuck up your car, if it even runs, then do so, buy the kit. But if I am trying to save someone from making a big mistake by saving a couple of bucks, then I'll say whatever the fuck I want, whether or not you like hearing the truth. Cry to someone else.

MexRocket
02-08-2006, 12:31 AM
Man you got some issues... lol cry to someone else? you need to get laid or something... Just chill, it isn't a prick comment, I'm just saying vendors are out to rape you now, people are now finding out that they CAN make they're own shit. Come on now, tell paying 600 bucks for a fucking exhaust is sane. tell me paying 40 bucks for a an oil return is sane. I do agree about the turbos, that is just shit, I am under the impression that these FMIC are pressure tested, quite honestly I would really want to see more info. Chill man, don't get all worked up about it. I'm sure that we both could find something better to do with our time then argue about this, so if you got offended my bad, not my intention. But i just hate how people slam companys like that then back companys like "name brand" just because they charge alot more money, doesn't mean its better, cyyyyyaaaa

Uhh... I think you guys are getting a little out of order here and need to calm down...

I am gonna have to lean towards crunchys side on this one though because its true. You get what you pay for. But, I'm not gonna talk bad about the ssautochromes because I have an xspower intercooler setting in the garage ready to go on my car. Its not bad, but its not good. Right now, I'm in the middle tetering on which one is the best buy. You guys do have to realize there have been many reported problems with their intercoolers. But, at the same time there has to of been some time where all the name brand intercoolers had a flaw here and there when they started out...

The point is, lets just not turn this into an intercooler flaming war. K?

The only issue I have is people giving wrong advice. People come to forums to learn about our cars, then they think buying the cheapest part is the best thing to do, then come back with major problems, I've seen it enough.

If you don't think your comment was a "prick" comment, I'd look at your first line of that post again.

But you're right, this isn't worth an internet arguement, not much is....back to physics / bio

Nayr747
02-08-2006, 01:45 AM
Hey come on guys, we're all DSMers here. Let's be nicer to each other. I wasn't trying to say that all ssautochrom stuff is crap because some people have had good luck with it. Big companies have these issues too. Like ACT--read the 8+ page thread on tuners about them blowing up. The main reason I would never support ssauto is because of what they said to people when they had a bad experience with their products. You can either choose to carry yourself well or be an ass--they chose the later.

I however do NOT think you always get what you pay for. I think the point of capitalism is competition. If a company starts charging too much, another company can come along and take part of it's market with a more moderately priced or better product. Companies don't just have a universal markup on all products. They chose to charge whatever the market will support. If only one company is filing a void in the market, they can get away with charging a lot more and making a lot more profit than if there was a competitor. Store brands and generic drugs are good examples of not always getting what you pay for. The store brands have been proven by Consumer Reports to be better in many cases than the actual name brands. And we all know generic drugs are exactly the same as the big names but at a fraction of the cost. And just as with store brands, knockoffs will not take the market away from and bankrupt the big names because the name is still worth something to many people who are happy to pay for it.

I see your point, but there is a major discrepency. the FDA tests and tests all those "knock-off" drugs to make sure they are of quality. Who is going to test SSAutochrome's products?

Shpyder
02-08-2006, 01:59 AM
Not to be a douche at this point, but I have read in several threads by many users how SSAutochrome products have very poor fitment and quality. Though I have never had a personal experience with SSAutochrome, I would personally avoid a company that has such poor feedback every time their name pops up, but how you spend your money is entirely your business.

Better shut this puppy down before you guys kill each other :crying:
