i can sum it up in two words... **** NO

The manis are ****, poorly welded using shitty metal, they crack.... the turbos fail, generally from tons of shaft play or bad seals...

the only ssac, xspower products worth having are the wastegate and blow off valve

i just bought an xs-power 2nd gen manifold.. looks alot better than the old ones and it has a lifetime warranty.. also I have heard nothing but great things about their wastegates which I also bought.. I have yet to install them but both look good to me.

its not how they look.... its how they perform. They perform like ****... sure they are good for a budget setup (really low budget) but they just arent a quality product

How many threads have to be posted about how shitty this crap is before people learn. Yes, i am sure there are some people who run that **** and are happy, but really, why take the risk of ******* up your car for another dime in your pocket. Turbo stuff is pricey, and if you are not willing to pay then your safest bet is to stay away from it all together.

I actually misread the original company. It used to be that there was only one XS out there now I guess there is more.

I do have an XS ENGINEERING intercooler and thats what I was talking about in my post. Sorry again.

By the way BenjitHX I agree with you but dont try to sell me your block
