I have heard people say that this SSautochrome on ebay is actually pretty decent stuff. I am only looking for about 240whp on my rb20, i dont want a big, laggy turbo, but i do want a noticable difference over the stock set up. i am no turbo techy, but this turbo looks like a decent unit. i did notice that the flange that feeds to the down pipe is just round.... isnt that side a little hot for a silicone coupler? or do you weld a pipe up to that? but yah, I'm not familiar with A/R's and all that....so some feedback would be great.

These are junk, you might get lucky and get a good one but most of them brake really fast.The ones I´ve removed all had bearing problems.Friends bought these a while cause they were cheap and always the same crap about the Garrett internals...blues14 wrote:I have heard people say that this SSautochrome on ebay is actually pretty decent stuff.

Can´t advise you to buy it, better to buy a used one from a good brand instead if you want a cheap one.

who has ever said SS autochrome turbos are good
they SUCK. worst turbos ever made. a turbo is one of those things in the automotive world that you 100% get what you pay for. you buy the cheapest turbo you can find, and it will barley last, or break, or not work, or whatever.
Cheap, Reliable, Fast.
you only get 2.
