They don't say what brand anything is o I'd guess it's on par with an ebay turbo kit. So alright but don't expect it to last...

I don't know if i would trust a company that also sells an "electric turbo supercharger":

edit: nm they said it is a turbonetics cast housing

seems a good starter kit though?

for the price, i mean its got a good amount of gear, even if the turbo is wack.. lol

good enough for a starter kit?

I would have to go ahead and say pretty decent starter kit. and for the price so what if the turbo shits in a season. Dont forget the essentials. ARP rod bolts, head studs and a steel head gasket. Also you will need a map sensor good for boost.

Stock good for 15psi thats actual psi and with atmospheric being ~14.7psi you have room for .3 boost psi.
Things to keep in mind.

yeh cheers Boosted94.. 8)

well the first things that attracted me were the amount of equipment for the price, cast iron manifold and the turbonetics cast housing.. and with the little research iv already done IIRC, thoughs were the major problems with the eBay specials.. manifold and housing on the turbo crack due to poor quality?

also had a friend experience that problem with the XS power kits :thumbdown:

so with a bit more research and if its all legit, i should be looking into purchasing one of thoughs AlxMic kits...

thanks :)

correction, the stock MAP is good to 11-12 psi, not 14.7

:wink:
