93613, Great Turbo Kits
Posted by bzoss, Mar-05-06 12:01 PM
I have recently purchased a turbo desiged to my specifications, intercooler, BOV, and exhaust manifold from www.thestreetsource.net. I must say that shipping was fast, and the total price was $1100.00. The manifold was amazing, and totally bullet proof. The BOV was as specified for my application. I have to do a little bit of fabrication for the install, but that was by my choice to save some money.
Basically for those of you out there with a bit of mechanical abilities, who are looking for outstanding, and cheap kits. I highly recommend this kit.

again
www.thestreetsource.net

Any questions, you can ask me. I have nothing but praise, and I dare anyone to beat the quality of the manifold.

That is pretty nice. I might consider this website whenever I have the money for a turbo kit, since everything else will be all downhill after receiving the manifold, turbo & downpipe. Oil fittings, BOV, side-mount, IC piping and anything else I didn't mention.

My "pending" mods for the future:
1. possibly the turbo manifold, turbo & downpipe kit @ streetsource
2. 4G63 sidemount & custom IC piping
3. Crushed 1G BOV
4. FMU
5. 255 Walboro fuel pump & whatever injectors that will do fine for supporting 5-7lbs. of boost.

you dont need to upgrade your injectors for 5-7lbs of boost.

you can get the same kit components (manifold, turbo, bov) from hahn for that price. im not saying what you got was crap cause its not ive seen them and they are good quality turbos, however hahn is a known and trusted company and for the same price id go with them. just my 2 cents

I got there turbo and intercooler kit. Only complaint I have about it is there intercooler kit. I was expecting an easy install but it really wasnt I had to cut some of the piping and had to order more piping and couplers. I wish I wouldve went with a different route for the price I paid for it. Customer service was good for a while then I stopped getting replies from him. I wouldnt attempt to take out a spring on the fake greddy bov, the outside of the diaphragm tore on me.. doubt its sealed now...

I was just very impressed considering the specifics that I was asking for. It wasn't like he had one option. I got the turbo created or built specifically for my application. Basically I wanted a specific A/R on the turbine, and compressor to get max spool, min. lag, but still be able to comfortably create about 12-14 psi. at WOT.

Anyhow, I have no complaints, and the price was better than HAHN especially for the sort of parts you get.

I am going to put my own incooler piping together, so about that problem with having to cut the pipes, I don't know what to say about that...

Anyhow, just a cheap alternative to someone out there savvy enough to put together his own supporting parts, i.e. piping, oil lines, etc.

I will say without a doubt, that all those jews that put down 3000.00 or better for a POS star kit, waisted their money when this kit is much better, for much less.
You really need to see a manifold to get the whole perspective. Mine looks just as good as the one pictured on the website. The beads are tight, and the finish is great.
Again, I have looked into many other kits, and into as many ways as saving money as possible, and this is definetely the biggest bang for the buck if you have a little bit of ability about yourself.

Ya know, given the stereotype that Jews are penny-pinching money grubbers, i'd say the only jew in this thread is the one that bought half a turbo "kit" and some weld-el manifold from a no-name internet vendor and things he got a "good deal."

:shrug
