I've heard good and bad from this kit. I've heard the turbo itself doesn't hold up well.

+1 to what f1atlander said, if you do go with the kit, make sure you upgrade to a MP turbo at the least.

The design of the kit looks great. There are 2 issues *I* don't like and it's something that can be fixed, just depends if you want to spend the money.


1. Cheesy Chinese turbo, upgrade as soon as you can.

2. Really weak T304 steel. It will look good and work good for awhile, I wouldn't use it because eventually it will crack. If you have the opportunity to upgrade to mild steel, you have a nice kit for less than most kits out there.

I have had this kit on my 95 for almost a year and it's been great. The turbo has been great and no issues, the headers and cross pipe are mild steel and the down pipe and intercooler pipes are stainless. I did have some issues with the y pipe kit it's junk I had to hack it up to make it work. I would recommend this kit if you are on a buget very good bag for the buck.
Here the link to my build.

Does the ABS module have to be removed?

 

[alex302]

No this kit keeps everything in it stock location. the only thing that gets removed is the smog pump.

What upgrade turbo do you recommend? My car is just a street and show car.

Nothing extravagant.

A Master Power something like a T70 P Trim.

It's good quality, make more than enough power to destroy your motor and will outlast any chinese garbage. I think On3 offers a MP upgrade.

i have this very same kit.....in the spare bedroom lol gunna wait until spring time to put on.....my buddy has the same kit on his fox but hes in the same boat as i am, waiting till spring before we do anything

Hell, just go get a holset hx35 or 40 off of a Cummins diesel and wastegate it and you will most likely never have to replace the turbo again. They're cheap, easy to find, and make gobs of boost when you need them too.

This is very true!.. I have about 450 the hot and cold side with the turbo purchase. I have another 300 in injectors(60lb/hr) and 500 for my megasquirt and mini laptop for tuning. 450+ hp all day! But the fabrication is what gets ya.. If you or a friend cant cut and weld your pretty much sol..just an idea though..
