    Never trust a company advertising something as "Super 3' downpipe" or "Super b16a kit"

    After the feedback from that guy, even if its 1/2 retail price, I wouldn't touch it with a 100 ft pole.

    I've done some research on the web across like 6 forums (USCIVIC, HONDASWAP, HOMEMADE-TURBO, HONDATECH, HONDA-ACURA.NET,etc etc) and i have come across one general consensus: ITS SHIT

    the mian complaints were not abotu the turbo however, it was the manifold, which started warpign and cracking around 2000miles (thats round 4000km right?) down teh track.

    In any case, SSAUTOCHROME makes bad bad bad shit according to 90% of users, with only a few minorities expressing satisfaction with the durability and performance of the product.

    Another common complain was that teh downpipe did not allow fro keeping of air conditioning and power steering as advertised, although most people who compalined about this were driving Em1s, most drivers of ek4s or EK-Hatch+B16A conversions had no problems.

    The company did release a statement saying that tehir product had improved over time with R&D, experience, etc etc... but as of RIGHT NOW, i am not brave enough to try the product, although at that price i think we all agree that its VERY VERY tempting

    Heres a quote to sum it all up

    "SSAUTOCHROME is like Paris Hilton with aids. Everyone wants to bang her, and those that do... 9/10 get ****ed up and then 1/10 goes "HEY! i'm alrigth id ont know wot u guys are complaining about"... but 5 months down teh track the symptoms start showing

    my advice for all ppl of ozhonda, dont bother. Although i must say i havent verified this by TRYING IT OUT, i dont think so many negative opinions can be all wrong

    ps: one thing though, looking at their ebay reponses/feedback, u can say that theri negative feedback has decreased over time, but when u look at the feedback, and the archtypical "comments" u can tell they have been fabricated... u can read so many "GOOD PRODUCT A+++++" before it gets sus

    If you are planning on adding a turbo to ANY motor, why waste your time/money on cheap pathetic parts that won't hold? As VTEC16 said, all it needed was to read the comments made. I would NEVER buy anything off Ebay like that, especially if you didn't have proof (Dyno Sheets, speaking face to face) that the product works. You arent buying a gear knob or a steering wheel, this is a whole bunch of components that either work, or dont. Skimp on parts and you WILL regret it in the end. I know others have.

    Here we go, another gay N/A fan. You cannot beat Turb in N/a fullstop. I'll let you spend $50k on your N/A car and I'll still beat ya in reverse!

    Also re: Pornstar, he is gay but can hook you up with a great package that will surely beat anyother kit on the market by price, quality and power full stop. He'll even lick your arse if you asked for it as a part of a deal .
