Default speedindex turbo (kitt)

First of all, I have searched here and on honda-tech. did not find anything.

So I ask you guys.

Have anyone ever tried these speedindex turbo kits?

They look alot better than XS power and the other cheep turbo kitts, well atleast the compressor housing is screwd, not glued, and the manifold is cast, so hopefully, it won't crack.

I just thought it would be cool to test it out, since it's so cheap. Maybe i'll get my boss to test them out on one of his civics..

I will stick to my used garret vnt and VX mani anyway. Just having a hard time clocking the mid section, making the adapter plate and finding an oil line kitt

I agree that they are cheap for a reson, and that many things can go wrong. but still, som people acctualy have sucsess with ssauto turbo's.. and these manifolds look alot better, so if the turbo AND the wastegate brake down, i'll still have a t3 manifold.

the wastegate will be fine...they are used pretty widely..might wanna pull it apart to make sure everything is sdeated correctly

the turbos are kind of a toss up

that manifold however has a bad wastegate design and looks like it will creep. also cheap cast manifolds will crack
