i personally have a miata turbo header from them. its a commonly used design on my car due to having the same head design due to me having a mazda motor in my escort. i got mine for like 50 bucks for the soul intetion of getting it duplicated. how could i pass up a 50 buck turbo header just to duplicate with better matterial. but as stated by many and i will say also. for the price its nice. but it comes down to "what you pay for is what you get"

Hey I'm going to be runnin a Te04H my Idea is to weld the turbo adapter directly to the stock manifold ( cut and cleaned of course) For such a small turbo and budget wise I think its a good Idea. I've seen it done before. What do you guys think. It couldn't be any worse than what SS was selling.

isn't that one of the turbos off a 3kgt tt? those things are tiny! you will over spool it pretty fast. but if im wrong then don't listen to me.

There have been many HMT kits using stock manifolds and adapter plates and they all had good sucess. If you can get away with being able to bolt an adapter plate to the manifold it would be better becuase welding cast sucks.

I'm talking with a gentleman from overboost.inc and he says that you can install a T25 or T28 compressor wheel and that should yeild me a higher onset of boost. right now that turbo hits its peak at 3200 RPM and I need about 3600 more so with porting, clipping and the upgraded compressor wheel I should be able to get close. to my projected 6800 RPM redline. I'll let you know how it comes out!

true if you run the smaller hot side and a bigger cold side it will spool low and have nice power all the way up.
