Seriously though - no one is stopping you from buying anything from them! Just ask yourself where they are cutting costs. Of course there are people out there who are happy with the kit, I for one don't dispute that, but the majority of people who have had the pleasure complain about bad quality (manifold breaking, turbo leaking oil, turbo housing cracking...**** man, the list is almost endless!!). AFAIK these turbos are made in China without any QC, balancing or anything. Sorry but I don't like the idea of my turbo flying apart under load, if you do then good luck to you.
Oh and don't dare say you weren't warned!  |
the **** you talkin' about
in my personal experiences, i know more people that have had success with their products than bad. never knew anybody personally that ran their turbos though. but a friend of mine with an mk4 supra has been pushing 700hp using an xsturbo manifold
he's been on that same manifold for 4-5 years now. no cracks, nothing. same goes for a lot of the KA-T guys too.
i'm not saying for everybody to go out and buy this stuff. i'm just saying i'd love to get more reviews other than the average schmoe saying "they suck" without having seen anything firsthand.
in my opinion, if you were to buy a turbo from them, you should get it thoroughly inspected by a turbo specialist before you install to make sure all tolerances are good.
