the description says it would get up to 232 whp with stock injectors, ecu, and clutch..

legit or not?

sure, if you want to pay 1600 for an intercooler and piping. The rest of it is crap. come on, stock injectors give me a break. go ahead, if you want to blow your motor, and then then the turbo will be right behind it if the wg dont fail or the bov dont leak first.

Look for an ebay kit with the SSA bottom mount mani. The cx racing style tends to crack. If you run an oil restrictor the turbo "should" be fine. Also get an 8:1 fmu and set your timing back a few degrees and fuel management is taken care of. If you go this route I'd say replace the wastegate and blow off valve, then replace the other stuff as it breaks.

You can piece together your own kit for probably less than the price of that kit. The SSA manifold places the turbo in the same place as the SR's, turbo, so you can use the SR turbo outlet and downpipe, granted you get a t25 or t28.

Read the ebay sticky to get a feel for these cheap parts.

Run a restrictor on the turbo. .63, you can find this on JGS's webpage or you can get it through McMaster-Carr, go to the DIY oil line thread in the Ka-T info sticky.

These CRX kits are made from the same core components as the ebay kits. The only difference is CRX marks their kits up, so you pay more for the same stuff. Made in China. Roll the dice on your daily driver..

CRX is a pretty good place to get an intercooler kit from though.

If you guys had done some research you would have found that the budget Ka-T t2 build is a much more reliable and MUCH better option. Bottom mount ebay manifold(tried and true), stock injectors, FMU, 8 psi, running and boostin for years with no problems. You will never get that out of the Chinese turbos and top mount manifolds.

Standard EBay made in China parts. The reliability is always questionable on these parts...always. Buyer beware!!!

Locked because this has been discussed 8 million times.
