I think that is the same one that flcobalt was going to get untill he found out it was an immatation Garret turbo. I think that vendor was also banned from this website.

Dear god people, NO!

Franks turbo kits are terrible. Everything is UNIVERSAL except for the manifold. The intercooler piping that he uses aren't even made for your vehicle. He does absolutely no R & D...he's just a middle man for ebay and overcharges his customers.

And yes, you're correct, his turbochargers AREN'T Garretts...they are cheap ebay turbos that could go on you in any second cause of bad quality.

It says XS turbocharger. Last time I checked XS engineering was a somewhat reputable company.

Actually they are called "XS Power" turbos. I think they are 2 different companies.

I remember reading that this same company made a CAI for the 2.0 SS. Yet didn't allow for a maf sensor.

I'd stay away from them, it's cheap for a reason.
