Re: xs power turbo kits
some people do ok, some don't...
you can usually piece together a decent setup using brand name/oem parts for a reasonable price too... something you might want to look into

Re: xs power turbo kits
There's plenty of info on here about those kits. From what I know the manifolds crack alot but everything else seems to work ok. Unless you're getting it dirt cheap I would just piece together a kit.

Re: xs power turbo kits
thier manifolds crack easily,
turbos leak oil,
and in some situations the compressor wheel nut gets loose..destruction occurs,
wastegates get stuck open, or never even open under boost,
chinese product,
put together by 13 year old kids in china,
thin metal materials used,
this is why you can buy a XSpower manifold for $ 50 and turbo for $120,
stay away from it all.

Re: xs power turbo kits
ive had an xs power turbo/wastegate/intercooler for about 3yrs.........the wastegate and intercooler are doing ok, but the turbo center section leaks like crazy, and im embarrassed to park in other peoples driveways due to the puddles.

Re: xs power turbo kits
Ok, well its good to hear some actual users of the product I think I might try and find a Greddy kit or one of the edelbrock kits to throw on. Anyone know if the edelbrock kit can be used on a non vtec 1.5?

Re: xs power turbo kits
you should be able to use th Edlebrock kit itself but you gotta run your own management cause whatever it comes with is setup for vtec
