Good buy or not??
 

Ok today i bought a turbo kit for $1250. Its basically an ssautochrome kit with some changed out and extra parts. Instead of the knock off bov and wastegate it comes with a TurboXS bov and Tial 38 mm wastegate. The extra parts include a chipped p28 that reads boost, 550 RC injectors, and autometer boost and air/fuel ratio gauges. Also i didnt pay him the full $1250, im paying it off in payments. So just wanted to know if this is some what a good buy?

Re: Good buy or not??
 

Put it all together , rape it and see what power gains you've made.
Then u'll know if its a good buy or not 8)

Re: Good buy or not??
 

Get a better manifold and hopefully you are in the happy %50 whose SS turbo works great.Sounds alright though.

Re: Good buy or not??
 

and since the ecu was chipped for a b16 am i gonna have to get it re chipped for my gsr since the fuel maps are different?

Re: Good buy or not??
 

it will need to be retuned for the gsr

Re: Good buy or not??
 

how much do you think that will run me to send it to get re chipped for a gsr?

Re: Good buy or not??
 

:(

yes you will want to get a new chip with a good basemap from xeno before tuning, or you can buy a burner and just reburn it with a bin from someone here. have you looked through any of the FI stickies? all of this is covered in there

Re: Good buy or not??
 

Does it have a black tag or a square one?

Re: Good buy or not??
 

square tag....whats that supposed to mean?

Re: Good buy or not??
 

I pmed xeno for a basemap the other day, is there a better way to contact him?

Re: Good buy or not??
 

i dont think this guy appreciates you jackin his thread.....look through the stickies in the engine managment forum and youll find what you're looking for

Re: Good buy or not??
 

the serial number. is it a black label turbo, like the one everyone shows crack in half. Is it the supposely american made one that has the serial number engraved.

Re: Good buy or not??
 

no its not the one with the black label. mine also doesnt say xs power on the turbo. also do you know the specs on the turbo? it says t04e and .50 AR on the turbine side. just want to know what the trim size and AR housing for the exhaust side are.

Re: Good buy or not??
 

I have at xs power turbo. it says xs power turbo on it. Comes with a square tag on it that says t3/t4 t04e. it also says AR 50. How you know it's an xs power turbo if it doesn't say.

That's the same one i have. It says t3/t4 t04e on the label. It says xs power. it looks just like yours. I hope that ---- works good for you. post up the results. i haven't thrown it on my civic yet. i bought it for $750. xs power B.OV,38mm wasgate,d-series exhaust manifold,intercooler,pipings,and the turbo. At least it doesn't look like the china one with the black label

Re: Good buy or not??
 

Just had one of my mates blow his xs power t66 turbo on his alfa , after about 2weeks of use.

Re: Good buy or not??
