turbo xs and ssautocrome are the same. I have one of the kits for my D16Z6. I should be finished in a couple weeks when I get the cash to get a downpipe. My first impressions. The welds on the manifold look like ass but are plenty thick enough they should hold up fine. The turbo it's self looks brand new, no shaft play either. The machine work on the wastegate looks pretty good. We won't really know how good the stuff I got is until a year from now. It seems most complaints are about welds on the mani cracking. Most of the other stuff I found on the web is 2nd/3rd hand "knowledge" like "my uncle read about this guy whos car blew up" ect. The reason I decided to take a chance on them is I bought my civic as a toy. It's just something to fuck with to keep me from playing with myself. I've already learned and had enough fun to be worth what I paid for it. If I brake it I will be disappointed but I have another vehicle for trasportation.
