so i somehow didnt cash my last couple of paychecks... and i have ruffly 1500 to blow i want to do something... but im in between options right now so here are my choices someone give me some input on what the hell i should do! for backround information i have a 90si... sohc zc non vtec with tons of suspension work... a stage 1 clutch, intake exhaust headers and fuel and spark management. got my y8 head and p28 socketed and soon to be chipped ecu that will be going in very soon. my options are as follows...
option A:
custom made turbo kit including a 31" fmic, stock wrx turbo, blitz BOV, dsm 450 inj, complete piping and install 1600 installed
options B:
i can get a used t25 turbo and down pipe made for my set-up for $200, dsmn inj. $50, fmic 26" core $130, BOV $200, exhaust manifold $350, and piping for $150 and installed for $1200 spare cash goes to boost controll dyno time and tuning
option C:
here is where im gonna get all hell,.... ive done probablly 30 - 40 hours of online research behind ssautochrome and there product and how much everyone talks mad shit on there product and what not but as many bad things ive heard ive seen people say good things too...people have a tendency to stick to more of the wrongs than the rights .... i emailed them 4 times ive been answered promptly within 24 hrs each time... for a complete kit including t25 turbo, fmic, charge and IC pipes, oil lines, external 38mm wastegate, bov, something about an engine dress up kit and basically every little peice i might think of for the kit for only 800 shipped. now ive heard about the mani's falling apart but i was thinking of pulling that mani selling it to someone else online for dirt price or having the damn thing re-inforced with brackets upon brackets and putting in flex pipe to relive stress from the weight of the turbo when motor is torqing over, to see if that would be the best choice... then i can i get in more time on a dyno, and i can use my friends 40% discount back on jobber price and get all the heads internals for my y8
ive heard so much shit about ssautochrome and so many people talking about what they have heard nothing about what someone personally has seen, and i figured if i reinforce it enough ill be ok? in the sense that im a noob please any comments and concerns will help me make my decision... i am leaning toward getting the ssautochrome kit only because i can do more to my block and if i go through all the shit that has gone wrong with peoples kits in the past i can make my kit last from what ive read about peopls problems with their kits online
