Advice on turbo manufacturer
Anyone have any experience with the cheaper "XS POWER" (no-name) turbos?
Some claim they are almost as good as a greddy turbo since they all have identical genuine internals.
I have read on other forums that "XS Power" stainless steel turbo headers are a complete joke, and that they only last a few months before falling apart. But thats just their headers.
Yet, even on homemadeturbos.com, they used an XS Power turbo with a custom manifold and had decent results.
Any feedback?

http://store.yahoo.com/cheapturbo/gartur.html Thats a good site for turbo's, also maybe consider a rebuilt turbo to save some cash but make sure its a reputable rebuild place because some will **** the seals up and you'll have a little oil issue:P

sounds like another name for SS Autochrome
my buddy had that manifold, and it literally fell apart in 2 weeks. it would glow red hot just from a drive around the block. looked great though!! dunno anything about the turbos, but yeah... I wouldn't skimp on a turbo. there are nuff reputable places you can buy from.
