There is a thread about that kit. I think RobDET posted it. I don't know if he got any good responses from any of the previous winning bidders.

damn, i hope i got to you in time... the turbo is garbage.... if you look in the pic, the center section is clocked upside down (180 deg off) and it's not made by garret, it's made by jimmy's backyard smelting factory (or some other form of crap) i tried to install one of these, reclocked the turbo, and the poor quality snapring wouldn't stay tight again, and i stipped out one of the threads on the compressor outlet, (not because of me, they were just weak). anyway ssautochrome wouldn't even return my complaining emails.... STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! again, STAY AWAY!!!!! but the manifold is alright, my redtop needed a part of the head shaved, and my boy's blacktop needed part of the transmission shaved, but for $150 for the manny, can't be beat.

oh, and the threads on the oil and coolant lines aren't as deep as the stock center section, so the stock lines wouldn't work either..... what a p.o.s.

That stuff looks like absolute ****. There's a reason it's on Ebay for cheap. I wouldn't waste your time with that SS Autochrome crap and the "HKS style" elbow or whatever that is. The turbo gives you no real specs. Also, just take a look at the POS kits they make for Honda's. Cmon now.

I may be wrong, but that turbo looks quite a bit different than my T25. I see the inlet, but there is another flange on that side of the turbo with a triangular shaped pattern. Any idea what it is, or is it just something I never noticed on my T25. I see the square where the turbo bolts to the manifold, and the output to the extension, but what is this other flange?

that's the oil return flange that should be facing downward.... what a p.o.s.
