go to search, type in XS and you will get your answers.

for sure use the search. but to let you know xs-power is ssautochrome also. check there products and where there located its all the same shit just a different name.

I've used some of there stuff. There turbo's are good and from what I read the intercoolers are good. But stay farway from their manifolds, most people in the forums and in their feedback say they crack after a short period of time. I have had my Evo III 16-G Ported from them for a couple of months and it runs great. Plus it is the real Mistubishi turbo and not the cheap knock off.

Where did you read this bs? It is common knowledge among all call forums their products are the worst possible quality you can buy for your vehicle.

You are mistaken. They only sell china made knock off shit. Please show me one auction of theirs with a MHI unit in it.




Turbos sure look good to me.


BTW, XSPower = ssautochome = OBX. It's all the same guy selling under different names.

I researched it and looked at a lot of the Forums and their E-Bay Feedback. Maybe you should follow other peoples advice and not talk crap about parts you haven't used. I did the research and the Evo III 16-G I got from them isn't the cheap knock off but the real deal. They used to use the cheap knock offs a couple of years ago and had lots of problems, so they switched companies they were getting their turbos from. I know from personal experience about their products. I will admit their customer service sucks big time though.

Their feedback is an absolute joke. They have lots of negitives, and the positives are left before the person even uses the products.

Show me a picture of your MHI 16g from them. Show me one auction where they sold a MHI unit. Let's see it.

I've seen their products first hand. I've seen their broken products first hand. I know many that have used their shit. I've read tons of bad reviews on their shit. I don't need to buy anything. The quality is well known and documented in the import communities.

I have a xs power turbo. 43 trim. I have had no problems for 2 years. Still spools fine. no smoke and I dump before the cat. A little shaft play but no in and out. Just side to side.

You have your opinion and I have mine, but that doesn't give you the right to sit there and be a jerk about it. I'm at work or else I would post a picture. I know the difference between the real one and the knock offs from reading the details on turbonetics and a couple of other turbo web sites.

I'll just wait for the pic then.

I don't need to post a picture to know I am right. The turbo says TD05H right on it, they no longer have the stupid XS Power stamp on it. If you need to learn more about the difference between the fake one and the real one, see this web site:

http://www.slowboyracing.com/evo3vsgt.htm

I checked everything they show on there and compared it to what I have and I got the real turbo. Anyway enough of the bickering, I don't want to keep this up on someone elses forum. Sorry 97_eclipse_gst.

XS has good prices but most of the stuff is crap. Some intercoolers are good. If you really got a genuine turbo from them then you are lucky. All i have seen are cheap knockoffs which look and perform like crap. My friend got an XS turbo for his celica and a chunk got blown out of the intake housing. He got that replaced and the shaft snapped. I am talking from experience and this is no bull. I actually saw that turbo. They have really bad customer service too. I am not denying that some parts may be good. I am thinking about getting their FMIC kit.

Furthermore if you want to argue somethin on this forum then you have to back it up otherwise it turns into a ricerwar and the thread looks rediculous and has no point. I suggest the mods close this if this argument continues.

Hope noone has a coronary about XS's quality.

I just bought there 2g FMIC off ebay for $225 with short piping included. I havn't installed it yet but it looks like it is pretty nice and the price is great. I've seen others on here that have installed it and they love it as well. I can't speak about there turbo's though. Is it me, or is that turbo sealed with glue????

Maybe you got the real thing then. Honestly, I hope I'm wrong. What did you pay for it?

i have one of their intercoolers and it is very good quality. the welds are very nice and for the price you can't beat it.

I paid $570 for it.

Looks like its held on by some crazy krazy glue or something?????

I would sport their 2g FMIC but nothing else.

Listen to these people. This stuff is junk. Purchased the turbo kit for a 240sx. The header didnt fit, the wastegate was incomplete, and the turbine came apart after about a hundred miles. Good luck getting customer service from these people. I have tried everything and cannot get a response from anyone. One of the blades on the turbine came off!! This took the whole hot side of the turbo out.

I too myself have had no luck contacting these people. But there have been some that have sent them an email and within an hour had a response back from them... They seem pretty shady but hey what do I know??

Searching around google about a month ago, I came across a thread on *I think* a Ford truck forum where the guy got ssautochomes/xspowers personal cellphone #. Needless to say, after one call some new parts were overnighted to him.

I can't find it again, but I'm sure if you searched for a while on google you'd come up with it.

thanks for the comments they helped alot

Then how come there are barely any poor quality OBX parts out there...From all of the ones I've used, I had 0 problems...


As for that picture, that's the only one that I've seen of that happeing..Sure there might be other instances where that happened before, but not as often as people assume. I'm not trying to support XS power, but from what it seems their products except for the manifold seem pretty decent as of late.
