ssautochrome turbo kit from ebay, good/bad?

[peterie]

I found on the ebay a ssautochrome turbo kit, which includes:

OBX MANIFOLD
TURBO T3/T4
WASTEGATE 35MM
BLOW OFF VALVE 50MM
DOWNPIPE - STAINLESS
90 DEGREE ELBOW - STAINLESS
FLANGES
GASKETS
FLANGE FOR BOV
FLANGE KIT FOR WASTEGATE

I have read on the forums that the obx headers quality are no good, people have fitment problems and the performance of some cases wore not good as well.
I was going to bye this kit but sins I have read a bad thinks about this product I am not so shore about it.
And personally I have a bad experience with obx product my self, I have a obx cat back exhaust and I had problem to fit my mid pipe which first wasn’t long enough, so I had to bay a cat converter to finally fit it under my car, and when I did that I found out that the pipe is pushing against the rubber which holds the pipe and the brake lines which began to smelt when I stat engine.

Does have anyone some experience with obx turbo headers, or that turbo kit? Can any one suggest me is it worth it to by this kit?

thanks

The kit is not that bad sounding but obx turbo manifolds i have seen them they tend to crack and split.I seen one obx turbo mani that was 3 mths old and it looked like it was form the 60's..YOu could always buy it if its cheap enough and sell the manifold and buy you another one or just have one made..I can have turbo manifolds made for around 75-100 dollars with supply of stock manifold..

my friend bought an obx turbo manifold. I had to take a die grinder to the inside of the runners to smooth them out, then asked my dad to reweld the seems because the welding job was complete shit. I don't care if they do tig weld it, their welders suck. Ended up just selling it at the end. They are pieces of shit.

BAD! stay away from all that is ssautochrome and obx products just suck. even if its under a lifetime warantee, who wants to send it back to them every month for a replacement?

[peterie]

Yes i have read pretty bad thinks about obx manifolds, like they cracks or manifold was colourd blue after couple of days. And the welding job was not very good as GScivic7 said.
But it does look good for that price, and what if I do like rushb18 said sell the manifold and bay a new one. But I am doubting if the have only the obx manifold. And they ship right to Europe just for 50 $, usually I will pay for shipping only: 300 $

also, their turbos have been known to crap out, their downpipe is crap, the external wastegate they sell craps out. crap crap crapidy crap why even waste your money?

[peterie]

Your right, it’s very suspicious to get something good for that kind of money. I am just gona save some more money for good complete turbo kit.

Tanks guys.

i bought headers from ss auto chrome and by the end of the third day they had already started rusting,i thought they were ok, a bit heavy, crappy finish, the measurements werent correct had to take the car to meinikeand have them add 3 inches to the exhaust. i wouldnt reccomend ss autochrome
