Default Ebay Turbo Kits

86 the Wastegate, replace with a 50mm TiAL, and keep the rest. What the hell is the deal with the price on this unit? Does that have pretty good housings on intake/exhaust for a rear-mount custom setup? Let me know what you all think... I'm looking to purchase individual parts and fabricate my own kit. Think 42lb injectors would do the trick on a 6psi setup? Let's hear the opinions!

Stay far away from ssautochrome. They have a really bad rep on turbomustangs.com

The turbos are not what they are being sold as, and ive seen pictures where they actually epoxied some of their turbo housings together!


Check out turbomustangs.com and search for them...

I was just looking at their stuff too, but like xssive said, I researched them on turbomustang and found nothing good about them. Apparently, there turbos are cheap chines knock offs of Master Power turbos, that aren't high dollar to begin with . The only thing I did find it that a lot of guys were using there wastegates with a lot of success. There TiAl copies and seem to work well. I bought one for a 400 SB 69 Camaro I'm helping a friend do a remote setup on, so I'll see how it works. We are going to use a Master Power T70 with a .68 A/R exhaust. The 1.19 A/R exhaust on that T-60 is way to big for remote too I think. I have a .81 on my 4.8 and am trying to find a .69 to try to spool a bit quicker with the stock stall. Now it dosn't spool till about 3100.

I have one of the wastegates that they sell, they say it has a 7.8" spring, I see consistant 10-11 psi. They won't respond to my e-mails. Bad company, no customer service/support.

You might have the wrong spring, just buy a new one from TiAl, there cheap.

Thats actually not to bad of a waste gate. But the turbo is to small for a 4 cylinder in my book.

That is the wastegate that I have, are you sure that the TiAL wastegate springs work with those?

I think they would, just get a lighter spring then you need and then bleed boost to it till you get the boost level you want.
