Anyone know anything about these kits... they are super cheap but don't look or sound too bad. I know a local performance shop that uses these guys all the time but I just want to find out from my fellow civics. Thanks for any help! :D

Check that out...i would personally stay away from them...the turbos are built like s**t...the compressor housings are not sealed properly and can snap down the middle rather easily....and ive also heard stories about the manifolds cracking under pressure as well due to unstability....i have no personal experience with any of SSAUTO's products but from what i hear they are pretty shitty....my .02 id stay away from them, you get what you pay for when it comes to a turbo kit :thumbs up

yep, looks like we gon' have us a hangin'!!

seriously though, that's f*cked up....people that do things like that need to be castrated and burned at the stake....or hand-cuffed and dropped neck-deep in sulfuric acid....that'd teach 'em....

good luck to you and i hope this kind of thing doesn't happen again
