xs power turbos

[black sky]

I bought an xs power turbo for my rb20 and after a little bit of searching have found them to be rather crap. so i was wondering if any one out there has Actually had any good experiences with them. Such as it not f#&$king up on the first run or the first day. Any one please?????

I havent heard of anyone that has successfully run one of these turbos without the wheels blowing out as soon as it tries to make boost.

if you put it on a scooter or lawn mower i would say it'll work fine providing you limit boost to no more than 1.5-2psi and keep the revs below 2000. if you bought it for your car you should have a responsible adult remove your credit card from your wallet and close your ebay account.

There has to be at least one good story, for the love of god at least let there be one.

the issue that ive have heard (not saying it is or isnt) is that the wheel isnt properly balanced which is causing it to loose a wheel under load.

Maybe getting it fully rebuilt or atleast checked by a local specialist to see if they can find something with the turbo before you bolt it on...

i reckon it would be a good upgrade on our old excel or maybe my daihatsu 1.6l NA engine. give it to me and i will tell you how it goes. hell if it works i'll even let you do some burnouts in it.

Hhhahahahaaa

I think the guy just needed to make a mistake to learn that he should research products before buying them.

Dont take it to heart man just get rid of it buy a proper unit and move on..

ps: make sure your buying quality next time

great news - I DO have a good story about these turbos

I was lucky enough to discover they are crap before buying one

Sorry - couldn't resist

Come on guys, stop trying to scare the poor kid away.

the turbo will work, just get it balanced and checked before hand.

cheers

[Weq]

get it balanced. there have been no good storys about xs power, period. dont cut corners.

shouldnt cost more then 400

[black sky]

The car's in melbourne. is there any one in melbourne who does the balancing for a competitive price?????

[Sumo]

you cut the corner by buying a very nasty turbo, and you want to cut the corners again by getting someone to balance it cheaper?

If I were you, I would try and sell it to buy a garrett or HKS unit. But the time you balance it etc, It might only last a couple of months.
