yeah, i'm thinking of the t3/t04s or the t3/t04x......

they are cheaper than the damn hks t04e ($1500)

what setup did you use the ts04 on and how much boost?

i have a xs engineering t3/t4 turbo with xs cooler. can't directly compare it to any other turbos but, it spools up and flows very well.

as stated in a previous post: my stock ls made 255 hp and 210 lbs of torque on 6.5 lbs of boost and these results are due to the flowing capacity of the turbo.

the one thing i don't like about XS is that they are too secretive about the compressor wheels & turbines they use. I guess that's kool and all, everyone has their proprietary info. as you know TO4X is basically their designation for custom turbo, the problem is that they don't normally write your specs down, so when you need to call them for technical help, they don't know what spec your turbo is either! I haven't talked to them for awhile and maybe they changed their practices.

Also last time we ordered a turbo from them the process was long and complicated. the turbo is on the pricey side.
