I don’t know much, but I’d wager it’s junk. ---

> [@TopGunn](#): > > k well bye to that idea. How bout SS Autochrome, I heard there products are getting better than worse. Buy a turbo from garrett, not anyone else(I’ve even seen turbonetics ones fall apart within 1000kms), or else you’ll have a turbo that last 100 kms or less. Other than that, use your discretion for the manifold and such. SSAC has been making good bottom mount manifolds lately, the newest gen mani, I haven’t heard of one cracking yet, as they put braces on them now. Also the intercoolers, I’ve heard are pretty good. But yeah, anything mechanical I would stay with a company such as garrett. ---

I thought they made good turbo’s too, but there has been a couple ppl lately that have had theirs fail for no good reason. This guy’s turbo went boom, turbonetics said it was from oil starvation, but the turbo was getting enough oil. [http://www.ka-t.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9720&highlight=turbonetics+turbo](http://www.ka-t.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9720&highlight=turbonetics+turbo) Alot of ppl are alse seeing their oil seals go alot quicker in the turbonetics turbo’s than in Garrett’s, personally I would go with a garrett. ---

If you are on a budget go scouring the junkyards and you should be able to find a decent turbo for a low price. ---

SSAutochromes manifolds are alright but turbowise…I’d stay away…my mani’s been holding up and its been a year now…
