wilkorangerover Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 a mate of mine is watching it, his idea is manual conversion (3k) then he says he`ll have a single turbo for 8k lol maybe it will go bang??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSoop Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 a mate of mine is watching it, his idea is manual conversion (3k) then he says he`ll have a single turbo for 8k lol maybe it will go bang??? Steer clear from XS matey... If you want to go single, maybe go with HKS, GReddy, Garett tubbies, Boost logic...etc... Edit: If you cut corners, you are asking for trouble...I would rather pay someone alot of cash so that my Supe is running perfect... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spuduk99 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I've heard allsorts about these. Stupidly big exhaust housings, housings cracking, poor spool. You get what you pay for. I'd rather save for a powerhouse racing or boostlogic kit IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 They're not all that bad (but most are), from the spec listed that one isn't worth bothering with. It'd cost a fortune to make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx1lew Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Possibly people are getting there XS kit off ebay and getting copies? If you look in Banzi there is a spread about copie parts in the bottom left there is a turbo and manifold. noticed it was XS power, aparrently the turbo housing was held togeather by glue!

Homer Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Old news dude You really need to do some more research. Their turbo's are junk though and not because of the famed (faked) pictures above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
