Umm. no. T70's are huge. Thats a v6/v8 turbo there.

Here is a compressor map for a t3 super 60



Now here is one for a t70



That should say it all.

Kinda funny that I came across this thread. I was just searching ebay yesterday when I ran across the same kit you speak of. I was going to start a thread today and ask if anyone knew anything about SSA. Sounds like someone does. Is all of there ---- bullshit? I'm buying a K26 through a HMT member but I need an external gate and I still have to buy my manifold. SSA had a 'nice' setup for what I needed. 35mm gate and a SS manifold (1.9mm thick-sounds small but I don't know this is my first turbo). Someone help me not waste my money.

When you say SSA you mean SSautochrome? If so please listen when we tell you to stay a way and save your money for something better, or at least find a better manifold. I have been running one in my car for a while now and at first it was alright, but after a while, the wastegate fell off. I re welded it, thought it would be fine, and it just broke again. So, I'm ditching that POS and buying a quality manifold.
The SS autochrome manifolds are WAY to thin. liik at the thickness of the runners and the wastegate piece... it's amazing they don't just melt to a pile of shyt when they heat up. Sorry for the negative comments but I don't want to see another HMT-er or anyone else spend their hard earned cash on something that only lasts a few months if that.

Seriously, Just say no to SSA. I was sponsored by them in the past, and they're the only sponsor I told to eat a dick.

That definitely answers my question. I guess that I can now remove them from my "watch list" on ebay. If noone would have responded and let me know I would have bought there manifold tomorrow. That won't happen now. Thanks HMT guys. By the way what is a good thickness for a SS manifold. Or should I not consider stainless at all.
