SSautochrome Owns XSturbo USA, all turbos are built here.
Supposivly there is a China Company that cloned the Turbo XS turbo and started selling them on Ebay as well, SSautochrome wasnt selling them either.
Heres an example
These turbos are made here in the US, and from what he has told me they have very little problems at all with these turbos. The turbos before this were the ones with the "Turbo XYZ" or whatever on the compressor housing. We used one on a turbo z6 almost 2 years ago and its still running just fine.
I also have one of these turbos that I will be using on a customers car.
Here are The chinese versions of the XS Turbo, the ones that were split in half and were claimed to have been sold by SSauto on HT.
I've been lurking Ebay for several years now and have always watched what he has sold, and I have never seen him sell one of those turbos, I thought for sure they were all the same but I guess not.
Some people might be in shock that I am defending the guy, and giving his products a chance. We all know his manifolds arnt the greatest, but he is planing on retiring that pos with something better. He was even talking if we could get 5 hmt guys here to prototype a new manifold. I'm always willing to give people a chance, and try out their products. I'll be checking all these products out and seeing how they perform. I've already ripped apart all the turbos, gates, and valves and everything looks great. I just hope everything turns out well. For the price he sells this stuff, its definatly worth a test.

The "SSauto" turbo kit I ordered directly from SSauto came with a turbo that was just like the one they claim to not be selling(the lower one). It came in a box that clearly said "SSAUTOCHROME". Don't let that shitbag lie to you and don't let $$$ blind your judgement. Your word means a lot to people and I'd hate to see people ------ing rumors about how Jeff Frank endorses a cheap *** pile of ---- product just because he gets free ----. Just remember, you might get ---- for free, but it's still ----.
I was shocked to have read this thread. If you say you're going to put it to the test and call it what it is then I'm with you, but I hope you're judgement isn't swayed.

Re: SSS Autochrome
justin the turbo you got from ssautochrome had the "turbo xyz" compressor housing on it. its not the same as the one showed above with the 2 peices glued together.
and like I said before, just because i got a bunch of free ---- from a guy doesnt mean im going to endorse his products. However I will beat the ---- out of them and let everyone know how the results are. Simply because there are alot of people who want to know, is his ---- good? bad? or half ***.. I'm going to find out for myself. So far my car has been ripping pretty good.
In a few weeks, im going to put his "t70" on my a6 with his 50mm gate and try that out.

As long as you tell it how it is and explain your experiences with the rest of us I'm happy.
I just have my doubts about the shitbag. __________________
