XS Power turbo worth....
 

I know many of you think they are shitty but I won one on ebay for $61 brand new!!!! Worth it to me! O0

I'll keep you guys updated on the "POS" turblower.

Re: XS Power turbo worth....
 

yea they are pretty shitty, ive herd they use glew

Re: XS Power turbo worth....
 

Yeah. "One" person had a problem with that. I will let you know the real deal when I get my junk together.

Re: XS Power turbo worth....
 

yea But "THOUSAND" have had problems with ALL there product, i doubt this one is gonna be the dimond in the ruff

Re: XS Power turbo worth....
 

Not exactly true. Their manifolds are flat out shitty.

Re: XS Power turbo worth....
 

Do you think you struck a gold mine with this $61 turbo? It's not like it's going to be any better than the other 30,000 of them that have failed. You would have been better off with a used T3. :-\

Its $61. If it fails then oh well. Maybe I'll get lucky. I didn't pay $350 for it.

Re: XS Power turbo worth....
 

I just don't see the logic in throwing any money away. :-\

Re: XS Power turbo worth....
 

How many actual cases of these turbos failing have you heard of or seen?

Re: XS Power turbo worth....
 

How many? I have no idea, but I've seen several dozen posts from people who have used them and regreted it. Stan on here had one and the wheel nut fell off and fucked the whole turbo. It's a well known fact that those turbos don't get balanced before they're shipped out.

I love how people defend SSauto products after they bite the bullet and purchase the ----. Just because you bought into it doesn't mean it's going to be any better than the other shitty products he sells. Have you seen his feedback? Have you google searched for "SSautochrome, SSautoshit, SSautocrap......"? I don't see how after all the shitty products this guy has sold we still have people out there willing to buy this ----. I guess this is how he is still in business. People will never learn. :-\ ---- it...........

I am certainly not defending their ----. If anything I have nice pretty new housings. Well unless mine are glued together. ::) I will definitely have it checked out as well.

Re: XS Power turbo worth....
 

good luck my man

Re: XS Power turbo worth....
 

keep us updated on this "guinea pig" I only speak the truth.

Re: XS Power turbo worth....
 

I hope you're not trying to say the whole "glue" thing isn't true.....

Oh I know its true. I still dont understand why or how they did that. Who was ignorant enough to have done that? I just can't imagine the person that glued it was dumb enough to think that would be acceptable. The one I bought looks a lot different than that one though. Wish me luck.

Re: XS Power turbo worth....
 

Got the $61 turbo in the mail today. It looks to be brand new and not glued together. There are no seams on the housing. I checked the shaft play, radial and axial, using a dial indicator on a magnetic base and they are within specs. The turbo spins freely and everything looks good. I will update when I get it installed in my EG in a few months. Gotta get my CRX running good first.

Re: XS Power turbo worth....
 

before you run it I would get it balanced.........I'm sure my grandpa in China didn't balance it after he put it together ;)

Re: XS Power turbo worth....
 

There's a reason why you can get those turbos for $61. Its not like its a good deal, its just nobody wants them so they're cheap

Re: XS Power turbo worth....
 

my buddy bought a kit from them and its fine and its got the same turbo pictured above . i have had no luck with ssautoshit or xspower junk but it will most likle blow up and there manifold will probley fall off the car but for a 950 doller kit it will work until he and others can spend more money .

Re: XS Power turbo worth....
 

He paid $950 for an SSauto turbo kit? Jesus, I sold my old kit for $1000 and it was a sturdy kit with choice components. I should have asked for $2000.

Actually, it's the shiny manifold and pipes that lures unsuspecting people in to buy products from that shitbag. If it shines it'll sell like hotcakes on Egay. :-\

I'm gonna go start polishing my turds.........

You could have at least sent my the $61 and I could just ---- in a box and send it to you.

Re: XS Power turbo worth....
 

The housings are worth $61. ::) How many of you would run a SS autocrap wastegate or BOV? What's to say this new design turblow isn't decent? No one has said good or bad about this new design.

Re: XS Power turbo worth....
 

Oh and if you can read you would see that everyone has bashed me so far. No need to keep it up. I'll post my findings good or bad.

Re: XS Power turbo worth....
 

usally whenever I get myself into something im not 100% sure about, I research it. I am not 100% sure on turbo stuff...but from what Ive researched, what I know, SSautochrome has 2 downfalls. 1. manifold 2. turbos.

if you research , im sure you will figure it now. accually, now that you have a turbo, im sure you will become part of the "xs turbo sucks" crowd.

Re: XS Power turbo worth....
 

Yeah, I'm sure he turned a new leaf. ::) You are the exact reason this pile of ---- is still selling shitty products all over the internet. "Oh well this is a new design so it's probably not a big ------- heap of shitty hell like all of his other products". ::) Get ------- serious. Nothing he sells is worth a ----. Yeah, some people use his wastegates with little to no trouble, but it's a ------- wastegate with a spring inside it. How bad can you ---- that up? We're talking about turbos that need to be built to exact tolerences and balanced perfectly. The little blind tiawanese man isn't balancing these ------- turbos in his bamboo hut and I'm sure the "factory" next door in the tiki hut isn't building them with choice, quality parts.

You get what you pay for. If I have to pay an extra $200-$300 for a name and a company and a warranty and a quality piece that I'm not going to have to swap back out in 4 weeks, sign me up.

I'm so ------- sick of hearing about this guy and his shitty parts.


....and if you want to come back with a "Oh well you've probably never used his ---- so you don't know......"

dam boost...you know when you think of something to say, but cant figure out how to say it....you just said it for me. thanks.

Re: XS Power turbo worth....
 

I didn't buy it from SSautochrome. I am not supporting them. I am doing an experiment in a ---- car on a ---- motor to see how this turbo will hold up and perform. It may explode. It may not. I have no expectations. I will find out. I am not using any other products of theirs. I am using a good manifold, tial wastegate, turbo smart bov, etc. If the turbo blows up I won't cry. Not that it matters but that turbo you have is not the same turbo.

Re: XS Power turbo worth....
 

Yeah, but if you're against slottering animals for fur coats and you would never do such a thing to a living creature, yet you wear a fur coat, you didn't personally kill an animal and skin him, but you're still supporting the same thing you're against. :P I can say I'm an animal rights activist and go to the marches and go on strike at the butcher shops, but if I go home and eat a burger I'm not helping a damn thing. I didn't kill any animals though. :P

That was one of the "first generation" SSauto turbos. I highly doubt anything has changed, but I guess we'll see. :-\

you arent supporting him by using his turbos because you didnt buy it from him. ::)
and you have all of those sexy components and that shitty turbo... ::)

just end yourself.

Re: XS Power turbo worth....
 

Re: XS Power turbo worth....
 

Holy ----. You are hating on me that bad because I am going to test this turbo out? Just like the people on s2ki.com when I was building a HMT setup for my s2k. All I heard was "OMG! You aren't going to use a $6000 Turbonetics BB turbo kit!!!!". Get over yourself.

Re: XS Power turbo worth....
 

i use the ssautojunk wastegate with no probs now for 15k miles.... the only products id use, are the bov's and the wastegates and there flanges......


other than that, the manifolds, downpipe kits, turbos ect. are all heaping piles of steamy backwoods jungle fever africa ----.....

Re: XS Power turbo worth....
 

Well I will keep everyone updated regardless. If the turbo is a pile of steamy backwoods jungle fever africa ---- you will hear it from me. I don't know how long term it will be but I'll use it until my new motor is finished and ready to install. Probably going to be about 6 months running time. Better than NA in the meantime.

Re: XS Power turbo worth....
 

I am running ssauto junk on my 97 hatch with a gsr swap I bout the hole kit very impressed with it I broke my maonifold but it was my fault the wastegate was hitting the center part of my core support My budy went ahead and braced it for me
I will run any stock gsr car with a 3000 dallor turbo kit on my 1500 dollar turbo kit
thats for my uberdata and every thing cant complane for in the 12s
if you buy a ssauto kit brace the mainofld first of all
and buy a oil restrictor for the turbo or you will ---- ---- up that a ll i did I drive my car every day ((((((no problams)))) at all

Re: XS Power turbo worth....
 

good luck and hopefully a good deal.
a lot of ford forums have had problems with those turbos. maybe its the high hp that causes issues.
post some pics when you get a chance.

Re: XS Power turbo worth....
 

You shouldn't need to run a restrictor to keep the turbo from grenading.

Hotrex has a stock GSR with alot less than $3000 into the kit and I'd be willing to put $500 on his ride just because I know what a small primary manifold and an unbalanced "T3/T4 Hybrid" Ssauto is capable of.

Hotrex also had an SSautoshit wastegate recently fail on him too. :-* >:D

Re: XS Power turbo worth....
 

I've seen some good results from the SSAC aka Stone Mountain Racing "super T70" I wouldn't own one - better turbos available for cheaper when you live in the Holsetpark *erm* *cough* *trailerpark*. Still, I;ve tuned four cars with them and they've done pretty well, if a touch on the laggy side for anything smaller than a GSR.

SSAC does OK with their wastegates, too. I don't care if coleslawboy ak hotrex had one fail on him. That fucker is so hopped up on 'roids he probably overtorqued a bolt when replacing wg springs and Johnny Bighammered the poor thing. :-*

Re: XS Power turbo worth....
 

update, that steramy pile of africa ---- did fail on me just 2 days later.. my list of parts i wont run from ssac, has been upped to ALL OF THEM.

MY KIT cost me about 1700 and it wuill ---- all over your ssac kit. i promise.

projekteg same thing. a much much better quality kit for alot less than u payed.

in short. ssac = ricers sittin around the computer sayin, "it cant be that bad, lets give it a try" then 2 weeks later they got their thumb up there ass cause they bought a steamy pile of afrca ----.
