16g Turbo kit.
#8
here are the problems as I understand them. 1) The turbo is more than likely not a genuine MHI turbo, 2) The manifold while being SS is a very thin gauge and is prone to cracking, and 3) The bolt hole on the DP that is inside the first radius bend does not have clearance to actually put a bolt through there to secure the turbo. There are potentially other problems with the kit that I don't know about, but I have only read about those actual pieces. Keep in mind that a good price on a genuine evo III 16g would be around $500 give or take if bought brand new.

The kit is far from an actual kit. Most the components are junk or need modifying to fit right. A buddy of mine has 2 drift days under his belt with his and the car has no trouble drifting 3rd gear. So far the manifold and turbo are holding up ok.
