anyone know anything bout there turbo's? i know bout the honda-tech thread but they said they've changed the way they've made them and there alot better now... they haven't had any complaints since they changed.... they made that turbo from 02-03 and admit it was shit...

just wondering if anyone has used the new ssautochrome turbo

well the new OBX ones look strong to me and there's now external gate on them.
One top of that everyone says OBX and SSauto are the same person but i dont think so.
As long as it has the OBX plate welded on it, you should be ok. I have yet to see any on these thread posted with the bust mani's have a OBX name plate on them.
IMO i say OBX, yes, SSauto, no.

Now i would never buy something as important as a turbo from SSauto. That's like suicide. Search T3 turbo on ebay and pick you up a nice used one from a saab or chryler. If you need a good person to buy from on there, let me know. I just got one from him for my new project

Well, I have not seen any problem with a GENUINE OBX-R Header (NOT an SSAUTOCHROME cheap imitation) on a D17.

I would like to see the opinions of people who actually have a Genuine OBX Turbo Manifold on a D17.

if you planning on getting a turbo kit/manifold. get something that is good (u get what you payed 4). it will save you some $$$ in the long run.

Well, the new HKS manifold is being sold only by $213.00. And NOBODY can say that HKS is a cheap peace of crap when talking about Turbo systems.

What I mean is that Genuine OBX Manifolds have better quality than those from SSAutoChrome no matter what many people say that SSAutochrome is the manufacturer of OBX's exhaust systems, I believe that's not true. And as stated earlier, I have not seen a Genuine OBX Turbo Manifold in the conditions of the manifolds posted in this and other posts, not even one. All I see is SSAutochrome crap. I don't see any OBX Plate nowhere in those cracked manifolds.
