driftmotion turbo kit
Does anyone have the drifmotion kit? http://store.driftmotion.com/static/...imturbokit.php
Probably going to buy it and scrap the turbo+wastegate, but I wanted to ask how everything else fitted/held up? I'm a bit worried about the headers cracking, too. Does anyone have any suggestions on a pair of turbo headers for a 1jzgte?

They work. I have one for a year now. Everything is holding up just fine. The weak links are the gaskets but otherwise the fitment is acceptable and the turbo is pretty good. Wastegate is working well for now but I get why people would hesitate to run such a cheap wastegate.

I bought the kit without the turbo.
I had to have a shop to redweld the 3inch garrett housing's vband because the OD didnt match the DM 3inch vband flange. In addition , I had to deck the t4 flange on the manifold as it was not flat.
I replaced the AN fittings with aeroquip. The 45 degree from DM was leaking...
Overall it was a good kit for the price.
