Pictures of a customers car with a no name turbo kit!!! Can you spot the problem?



If you said the wastegate fell off, then you were correct!! Cheap turbo manifolds will not stand up to the test of time. Believe it or not this one was actually braced in two places and still developed cracks, which led to the untimely demise of the wastegate.




The intercooler was to massive for the car as well. This is with a cutout core support and it still hangs below the bumper.


It's Sad because these kind of turbo kits puts people off turbo's. The assume turbos are always leaking oil, cracking manifold, boost spiking, pipes popping off etc etc.
It's your money, Save up and do it right the first time.
