I have a built b18c, I already bought the wastegate but I am hearing that their products are no good especially their turbos. I would love to hear from someone who has tried this particular wastegate. They are all over ebay xs power 46mm

 

 

is it that bad

 

when it comes to xs power(also ss autochrome...same company) a majority of their products are suspect...don't know about their wastegates specifically, but in general their turbos blow the seals fairly quick(even with a restrictor) say within the first year and often SSAC/XS power will try to claim it's not covered under warranty. Also thier manifolds are infamous for blowing welds, cracking anywhere and everywhere. In general I would advise against this company.

 

why do people keep dealing with companies that have a shitty reputation????Now not all their products are bad their intercoolers seem to hold up but hey why chance it.......

 

I have never heard of anyone having a problem with one of there wastegates.I have used quite a few.

 

If you're cheap buy one. But dont post here complaining how it broke.

 

I also have a new tial 38mm but i have upgraded my turbo from a t04E .70 ar with a 60 trim wheel. hotside p trim with .63 ar. I am now installing a holset hx40w with machined garrett .63 ar housing. I have plans to rev this motor to 9200RPM and research has shown that the 38mm will not regulate boost properly at this RPM . I really wanted the tial 46mm but i got the xs power free from a friend so I figured why not try it. by the way my motor is a B18C with a type R head, Toda spec B cams. I am running crome. I live in Jamaica so every thing I need I have to get it from the U.S.A. My previous set up I ran 11.8 @119 on 12PSi the car is a 96 civic hatch, trunk was taken off and the doors were gutted. one seat . I am running MT 24.5\8\15 slicks. So (pgmatt) have you tried the xs power wastegate on anything like my set up
