there is no such thing as a good turbo kit on a budget unless you fabricate it yourself

read this about 304 stainless

nitrous_fed_03gt

note to self, stay away from stainless steel. so do you think the kit would be any better if they used the stainless steel with a mill finish??? what if they used ceramic coating? sorry im so dumb with turbo systems. i only know nitrous

if they used 321 stainless or higher it would be fine. im not sure about the ceramic coating. if they coat the inside it might slow down the rate of failure of 304 but im sure it will still happen

There's nothing wrong with 304 grade stainless. Thin wall with any type of metal isn't a great idea. I never use anything but thickwall whether it's stainless or mild steel, keep in mind on top of having to support a heavy turbo & some of the exhaust you also have the thermal expansion coming into play. Crossover pipes can lengthen up to 3/4" at wot temps which puts a great deal of stress on the setup, obviously you can guess which is going to give between the block or the piping. They did a good thing by putting a flex joint into the crossover but that's not the only place it occurs. Using thinwall piping is a bad idea no matter what the grade of metal.

I wouldn't advise coating or wrap with stainless. Stainless steel has better heat retention than coated or wrapped mild steel so there's not as much of a need for it, coating it or wrapping it will cause it to weaken the metal. With mild steel I would recommend either coating (on the inside & out if possible) or wrap to help keep the heat inside. I'm not much on wrap though.

Stay away from any kit with very thin plumbing
