Ok we all know about the horror post about the glue... BUT... ive talked to 2 recent people that run them for more then a year now and have had no problems. One ran the t3t4 and one ran the t70... Anyone else on here run them or had any other issues?

I would like an update on some of the people running them as well.

It seems like we had a bunch of these threads popping up about a year ago about how the SSautochrome turbos are working fine. And a bunch of people were buying them.

I would like to hear from people that have been running them over the past year. Is it possible that they are still holding up??

Which turbo? Which vendor?

t3 .42/.48

straight from ssauto, XSpower t3

the trick to getting them to last a long time is running an oil restrictor

BrokeAssWhiteboy

been rinning one the last 9 months. it even survived sucking in one of my old a/c plugs that was just hanging....digested half of it and still no problems

i have been running 15psi on mine ever since i put it on, and i poorly maintained it. still no shaft play or nothing, the only reason i took it off was i bought a bb garrett

One .42 .48 T3 5K miles on it working great,one "super T70" not much mileage yet but working great one T25 I used for 2500 miles and sold to someone else and last I heard holding up still and one T3/T4 currently has over 15K miles and has lots of shaft play getting near the end of its life but still building boost.All XS Power directly from SSautochrome I only get knock stuff directly from them and so far have had zero problems with any parts inluding lots intercoolers[really like these],tons of BOV's including the 50mm Tial knock off ,wastegates[double check assembly].I also order my Vband's from them as there only $30-40 I used one mani once but it broke shortly after i sold it as they are complete %100 garbage I know lots of other people using them with very little if any problems but I hear alot of stories of them packing it in so who knows.I will continue to use them as the money I saved i used to buy slicks,traction bars a wideband etc

we have a customer with the xs power kit

ls stock
xs power kit
200whp on a dynojet....
it s been a month i wonder how long it will last?

B18C Turbo

Mine is still going after 1.5 years, 6psi daily driven. If Jeff Evans from Evans-tunign supports the stuff why doesnt everyone?

dayne808

i have a kit and have yet to have it tuned. my only problem so far is my snail doesn't have the vacuum fitting on it!

200cs

I bought one almost two years ago without doing any research However I decided to use it anyway as I had already spent too much going to the dark side....

It has been in the car since Feb-05 and has been problem free. I expected it to die a long time ago and then replace it with a Garret, but it just won't die!

I wouldn't recommend one as I had all kinds of problems with their manifold but the one I have has been a good unit. Go figure!

Need some serious info on this....I'm planning on buying on of those soon for my GSR/CRX.

93CX

Bought mine used with 10k miles on it. No shaft play, BOV, WG, manifold, IC, all holding up fine.

Jason703Racing

Now im debating, T3T4 57 Trim 8-10psi on my stock b16a or... building a b18b with a b16 or gsr head (lsvtec) with rods/pistons 8:5:1 or 9:1 compression and running there t-70 with a top mount manifold insted of the ram horn im planning now..


Either way i plan on really thinking it over as i have 4 months to decide how i want to plan this out. Either way im ordering my intercooler, piping, bov from S-FAB and from there ill plan the manifold,down pipe, turbo and motor setup.


Brad (sfab) ran the t70 on a 2.0l ls and went 11.0 said from 5k on it was nuts and im considering going this road. Or ill leave the car as a daily and run there t3t4 57 trim on a ram horn manifold and just be happy.

so many choices...

Are we supposed to give a flying apeshit about which parts are approved by Jeff Evans??
