bump...this is good info because it will settle a lot of dispute over ssautochrome/ssautocrap

This thread is not going to settle anything. In some cases you get what you pay for. In order to get prices low, a company must make sacrifices. This is either in sacrifing making a product out of good materials that will hold up to conditions or cut costs and make it out of inferior materials that are not meant to hold up. Also using less materials aka thinner piping also saves money. When making BOV's and wastegates you can use good quality gasket materials or you can use shitty stuff that dries easily and eventually blows out. Also when assembling turbos and other components you can use workers who know what "torque specs" means or you can pay a 9 year old chinese boy 7 cents a day to turn a wrench. And in the end both products will look the same on ebay becuase people usually don't care about things like material strength properties but instead how shiney and cheap a product is. This is just my opinion let's continue on with "Billy down the street had his manifold for 5000 miles and its still fine"

my friend kept telling me, "ive had it for this many miles and its fine" then one day his turbo fell off on the freeway

B16CRXT

87na_rx7

the collector broke not the bolts

Reddy

Who's fault would it be?

samuraibill

well if they are trying to turn a new leaf or so they say. These test are good but from what has been posted they are full of ----.

This may not be relevant to the thread, but how many different designs to these turbo's did they have. All I know of is the 2 in the pics......someone tells me XSPower has 3 different designs............
