Im new to Forced induction, So ive been researching the "right" beginner set-up for my application...and a friend of mine told me to check out xs-power.com.
i see in there that they have a turbo kit that only includes the actual turbo, the downpipe, and the exhaust manifold. ($600)
::thinking to myself:: i've never seen a "universal" honda kit like this, these three main pieces are exactly what i want to start out with on my turbo project and ive seen exhaust manifolds that cost more than this whole kit, then i can just collect the rest of the parts slowly over the winter (as budget allows).

i think this would be the best way to start off.
let me know what you think.

also anyone ever dealt with xs-power.com before?

any thoughts/help on which is the easiest way to get started with a turbo build.

again...im new to forced induction, but i think it would be easiest to buy a kit containing the three major elements of the build and that right there is motivation to finish the project sooner.
Feel free to add any useful information, links, etc. to help me along.

Current Set-up:
89' Hatchback
OBD-0 B16A
J1 / unsprung 6puck
Ctr cams (will replace)
adj. cam gears
RSR exmag exhaust (will replace)
FPR/gauge


Thanks,
-Rickle

XS power turbos are SSAUTOCRAP's i believe. Stay away, i've heard NOTHING but bad things about XS power turbos. Might as well build it right the first time instead of blowing it up and buying everything again later anyway.

Agreed, those are bastard t3/t4 turbos, get a turbo from a quality and reliable name and you won't have to worry about.

ok ...so the turbo's they sell are crap.
what about the rest of thier products?

so we already have 2 xs-power bashes...anyone else?
