I'm gonna have to go w/ the other way around....ebay (ssautochrome) turbos are junk and their new manifolds they sell are alright. as long as they are braced properly they wont crack. i'm not saying they are the best thing out there but for a budget turbo kit they are pretty good.

my car went from around 350 miles out of a tank of gas(non highway) to around 250 miles...but thats because im running a t25 on a 2.2 liter so i'm in boost or almost in boost almost all the time. plus i haven't really ever gotten around to fine tuning my vacum half of my fuel maps to get good gas mileage. i just had my boost portion of my map and got lazy.
