I believe that they have started to brace their manifolds to prevent them from cracking. It also says that it has Garret internals on the turbo and a 1 year warranty. Who knows, maybe they're finally getting their quality up to an acceptable level.

I wouldnt even waste my time. If ANYTHING is wrong or off there is NO WAY to contact them to complain. It fuckin sucks. Spend a few bucks more and buy quality name brand parts.

the only part you have to worry about breaking the engine would be is the wastegate. piping, intercooler that kinda shit is fine. i have a tial k/o wastegate and can not regulate boost worth a shit.

Not to mention you dont HAVE to buy the turbo kit. You can piece it together as you have funds

A guy at the shop I hang out at just put that kit on his b16 crx. On the drive back from dyno tuning he blew the turbo. The seals went bad, and the exhaust turbine is missing chunks. He bought a garrett as a replecement.
