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.

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

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 ----.
