Depends on if you like pulling shreded bits of a compressor wheel out of the internals of your engine or not...

-wastegate is gonna suck *** and cause the motor to blow.

-bov is going to not work and cause the turbo to go bad, your in luck though since the turbo is so ****ty it will go bad before the BOV causes it to happen

- manifold is gonna crack

-intercooler couplers will rip

All together Id say its not the best turbo kit on the market and the price reflects that. A good turbo will run you the same price as that whole kit. Although it is a JDM kit so it might be really good.

Only thing I would buy from them is their piping and their FMIC. Those won't make your engine blow up... There is 3 ka24de turbo kits for sale in the classifieds right now. Decent kits. They are used but 110x better than SSAC. I personally own our sponsor's kit IAP. Pretty soon AMS will be out with theirs.
