To make the story short.  I purchased a Top mount Turbo kit from SS autochrome for my SR20DET for $499.00 WOW! The shipping was quick and when I got the stuff everything look clean, so I decided to leave a good feed back for the fast shipping.  stupid me!  Well it took me about a month to actually get started on the turbo upgrade I started by mounting the intercooler from XS power and I got to say that I dont have a problem with those intercoolers this is my second intercooler and the first one was working great on 14psi.  then I disaseble my stock turbo and when I was ready to mount the top mount turbo the exhaust from the turbo kept hitting my brake booster cylinder.  I had to redisign the hole manifold flange in order to fit the turbo propertyly with out hiting the brake booster,  well that issue cost me $120.00 Then V-band that they gave for the down pipe broke another $40.00.  then I had to customise the entire downpipe another $200.00.  then finally 2 months latter I finally put everything together and  I was ready to start the egine.  the engine started fine but then the oil lines that they gave me starting leaking oil.  another $60.00.  so finally everything was good. or was it? By that time I already had my 550CC injetors installed my Z32 MAF and my tune ECU installed.  So I decided to take a dirve.  The idel was good and the car felt smoth.  so I went back and checked that there was no more oil leaks or water leaks on the car and there was none I was so happy.  Next day I decided to drive the car again drove the car for about 15 miles and boosted up to 5PSI and I knew that the turbo could holp up to 20PSI.  Came back home and smoke starting coming out of the tail pipe and I saw oil on my intercooler, guess whatat the seals on the turbo blew up.  My budget was out so I didnt had any other option but to put the stock turbo into my car.  and whala problem solved its been 9 months sense that happend and my car is runnin with no problems with the stock turbo, but is just like they get what you pay for.

so my suggestion to anybody that would like to buy something from ssautochrome dont do it speicialy turbos they are crap.

 

turbo kit from ssautochrome $499

fixing ssautochrome probles $420

Not driving my car for 3 months thanks to ssautochrome-priceless
