    Supposedly there was a company out in china making black market copies of the turbos using cheap parts and making alot of profit on them, There was a thread on this not too long ago

    I know there a still some of the fake branded turbos out there but the real xs-power turbo kits are pretty good or average from what i hear because they use garrett internals.

    XS power makes GREAT turbos at an affordable price. Their T70 "wet floating ball bearing" with "Garrett internals" is a BE4ST Y0!

    Everything that XS Power/SSautochrome makes is by far the greatest quality car parts known to man. I believe they are the current record holders for non cracked manifolds and the compressor housings on their turbos never spontaneously crack into 5 peices.



    now imagine today is opposite day and reread the post.
