wow you actually took time to bold it.

 

I have read good and bad about them. I read that the wastegates are good. intercoolers are good. turbos i read arent so good. I can give firsthand expereince of the BOV when I finish my install.

 

so you bought a kit from them?

wow, moreso than you took to look for answers instead of expecting someone to drop it in your lap for you

In general the XSpower turbos like to bend shafts, destroy seals, and generally suck.

The XSpower manifolds like to be pieces of **** and crack.

The XSpower intercoolers are decent, but you have to have some genuine talent to **** up a non moving intercooler.

Wastegates are OK, GF has been running one on her car for a while. Casting was very rough but for a stock motor car it's good. Ditto for BOV.

 

Run, Run far away from SSAC and never look back.

No I dont believe in buying pre-built kits anymore. I pieced my stuff together. I would use the BOV but I wouldnt run one of their turbos

 

I swore after I bought one of their "Stone Mountain" turbos that I would never deal with them again.

But their prices are so damn good I couldn't resist. However, everything that I have bought from them since then has also been iffy. Their auctions don't fully disclose things.

Example 1: V-band kits. SSAC sells a damn cheap V-band kit. But it looks nothing like the picture he uses in the auction. The flanges are thick machined stainless and are a PITA to weld to thin tubing. On top of that one of the flanges is straight and one has a tapered ID for some reason. I ended up buying 2 and swapping the flanges so that I had one set with 2 straight flanges and one set with tapered flanges.

Example 2: Nissan T25 flange kit. Recently bought this because I am building a manifold and downpipe for a freind. What SSAC doesn't tell you: The flanges are CAST stainless steel. WTF? I hope they don't crack.
