save your money and get a recognised kit, like a garrett. it will be worth it in the long run.

Ooooooh Yey, the old XS Power debate!!!

Everyone I KNOW who has run XS Power snails have got things nice in the end but the 1st, a T70 on an SR20 took 2 failures before we got a good one (this was very early days of XS Power ans SS Autochrome) they have had problems with early manifolds cracking (which I think is nailed now!) and they also had some probs with VW, BMW and Liner manifolds not fitting, again, this got sorted.

When it comes to XS Power, you really need to be prepared to work for the power, if you\'re looking for a bolt-on and forget kit, then its a case of upping your price range to accomodate a more reputable product (although even these can fail)

Best of luck with the search fella.

i have seen both an early FD manifold from them and a newer one and there is a lot of difference, the newer being better,  my intercooler is from them and its spot on,  as said, if you have a stock engine and just want a cheap way to replace twins and get a little more power, then this kit will do the job with stock ports or mild street port and less than 1 bar boost.

I think Gmans old car had this kit and it made 295 rwhp from memory with a new ported engine.
400 BHP - 650 KG\'s = 616 BHP Per Ton of Rotary Power

That\'s the way to do it! :Thumbsup!

315 rwhp but the kit had been rebuilt with garret internals i was told.

XS-Power say they use Garrett internals but they don`t, good numbers tho I got 334rwhp from their Super T70 but sold it for a bigger turbo:chat .
 
Good luck if you go with it

your 7 months too late graham,  hows things?

I wonder if Bobit\'s T70 is the same as the one you sold Ben?, he just ran an 11.8 with it

Sorry but as of 1/3/06 non-members are now not allowed to post their e-mail address due to a decision made at the AGM by our members unless they are selling in the for sale section .

Why was interlopers email stripped out!? He IS a member! I\'m confused.
