If i had a full race car would i use most of it NO but i was just asking for the averge guy if they run/like xs power stuff.
I completely understand what you're saying. I've used certain chinese parts in the past on cheap builds too.

The older Greddy bov's weren't too bad. The newer Type Rs's have issues with the diaphragms over time, they tend to dry rot. That just goes along with common sense, if you know a part's going to fail (even a good name one) you really wouldn't want to spend the money on it.

That's pretty typical with the cheaper cores they use. For low boost they're fine compared to no IC at all, but they heatsoak and lose efficiency pretty fast at higher boost. For most of you guys that's fine, for me specifically where I run 23+psi it's a big no-no.

This from the guy that can't even spell "biased" properly. Get back to school young buck. If my information that I post is incorrect, it usually becomes known.

---- off dick. It's pukes like you ------ noobs running off the coat tails of people who started boosting Hondas in the beginning that give us and the industry a bad name. I've paid my dues, boosted more cars than your age and IQ combined, and contributed a lot to the Honda community in general. Just because I happen to have a lot of respect for people with innovation isn't a good reason to jump on the band wagon and say I'm an *** hat. The only thing these leaches do is copy other people's hard work and pass off as their own. If the car community as a whole stopped coming out with new parts completely, I guarantee companies like SSautoshit wouldn't have anything new and fantastic to offer either. What happened to people taking pride in their work? Or learning to make their own parts? Do you honestly think that us in the very beginning had any of these junk resources at our fingertips? NO. We had to make what we needed, and make work what we needed. I hope that everyone who runs these pieces of ---- will end up with compressor wheel parts in their motor, maybe then you'll learn your lesson. There is homemade and homemade quality, and there is this junk. By all rights you idiots shouldn't even be on this site, there is nothing homemade about buying a junk kit and tossing it on your car. This ranks up there buying a greddy or edelbrock kit and throwing on your car, but at least they have quality. Let's see your quality and innovation. You are the reason I and many others have no respect for the new generation of Honda tools. So take your junk xs-turblow mani and shove it back up your ***, maybe you'll get lucky and it won't crack once it hits your *****.

Slo is right. I'm not much of a n00b basher but sooner or later you will come to the conclusion driving around in a decent car you don't have to worry about all the time is worth the extra money. I know I learned that lesson very quickly. Now all I want is a decent daily driver and this:
