I have been pondering doing a KA-t rather than a SR20det swap is this kit any good and what would i need to add to make it complete?

opinions and advice welcome

DOOM out.

i believe there is alot of contraversy about ssautochromes manifolds, but i really havent heard anything specific. what you would need to finish the turbo kit would be some sort of added fuel( fmu, 370cc injectors, top feed fuel rail w/ msd injectors, etc), something to control the fuel (emanage, SAFC, standalone, jim wolf ecu), intercooler, piping, a custom made down pipe, and i think thats it.

if i forgot something then just go to http://www.boostdesigns.com and look at their stage one kit, shows you pretty much what you need to get your car turbo'ed

I find it odd that most of the kits they sell on ebay are not listed on their website...

seems like ppl have tried it and it works.the mani's that cracked were supposed to be the older mani's SSA used to make, just check some threads down, there's somebody who bought that kit.

Personally, I'm still waiting to see how the Boost Designs kit works out. So far, everything looks pretty promising.

For $1875 you get intercooler and piping, fmu, silicone couplers, downpipe (though you'll still need someone to fab up something to connect to your cat from the DP, assuming you've got one).

Wow...that's really, really ugly. That would be more than enough to turn me off from that kit forever. That's ridiculous.

Completly different turbo...however it does show they'll sell you anything. Its a gamble, theres no doubting that...people run them with no troubles, so ya never know...new turbo for them, new and maybe improved manifold, and the rest of the parts seem to be up to par...could be alright...

whaaa!! what makes it different? you do know they dont actually send you the advertised turbo right? they will send you whatever they feel like sending you/have in stock. just ask the other guy on here who bought the kit...

yes, they do offer some good, or at least decent turbos that wont **** on you after a few hundred miles -those come from brazil-, but you dont have a say in what they send you. if you get a stone mountain youre ****ed. sure, you take a gamble when modifying cars, but buying from a shady company proven to sell crap increases the odds of losing.
