Has anyone used one of these turbo\'s

[dturpin]

Hi everyone, I am currently looking for a new single turbo for my car as my t04e is knackered.
I came across these on XS power web site and was wondering if anyone had used on on a FD and what it was like?
Any info would be appreciated.

Here is a link to the turbo.

google is your friend here... im not sure about these ones, but for a long time people have had nothing but problems with them... talking turbine wheels coming off as they were glued on... and the whole thing just falling apart...

as malice has said, in the past i have heard alot of horror stories about XS Power being cheap crap and breaking, not sure if they have improved much thou have not heard anythin recently

but on the lookout for a bigger turbo (non xs power brand) to get once i have more funds

You get what you pay for, although some are ok, the issue is quality control:

and you dont have to go with garret!

borg warner, holset, master power are all just as good!

MaLice - thanks for the advice I will certainly be looking at others, can you suggest any good suppliers?

im going with a masterpower turbo, im getting it through a guy called ed_rx7 on fduk... think he is on here too... good prices good performing turbo\'s and if you ever need to rebuild you can stick garret internals in them.
