SS autochrome
http://www.bblgroup.us/ssautochrome.htm
I haven't seen any problems with their manifolds lately (apparently they are getting better), but their turbo's are still crap. I'm sure alot of you have heard of this, but figured I'd put it out for the sake of those that haven't seen it.

Re: SS autochrome
I had the T3/T4 on my KA-t which ran perfect till a valve seal went.
(CA18DET)
But the GT28RS blew the oil seals right out when the car started.
(SR20DET)
As for the manifolds They are setup to sit exactley like stock of like a Silk Road manifold( except silk road sit perfectly where stock sits). The shitty thing is that they fucked up on is they sit lower and a little farther back causeing the turbo elbow to hit the steering rod and snap the bolts holding the turbo to the manifold. I havent had any problems with their exhausts other than some hang to low and they are not very light.

Re: SS autochrome
I bought a RWD SR20DET turbo/manifold kit from them almost three years ago. The turbo (T25/T28 hybrid) busted on the freakin test drive. But they were quick to give a refund. I kept the manifold and elbow, and they're still holding up fine.
I also now have an SSAC header on my G20.
As far as SR20's go, they're know for best bang for the buck. You can pick one up on SR20forum.com group buy for $135 shipped.
I haven't had any problem with them, other than the shitty turbo (it had potential, I wish it would've worked out...)

Re: SS autochrome
I've never heard anything bad about their IC's, from what I hear, it's actually pretty hard to fuckup on making these. A few of my friends have ran them with no issues.
Manifolds and the turbos on the other hand, it seems like you have a 50/50 chance of getting a working product. I dunno, I don't mean to knock them, but better to serve as a warning.

Re: SS autochrome
i know their shit for MR2s really sucks. the manifolds crack right away and the dp's aren't made right and wont allow the stock turbo to fully open the wg and over boosts.
only thing i'd run from them is maybe an intercooler with my own piping set up.
