You want the Gt90785893T99A DBB mate. Full boost by 295rpm apparently

Lamentably, no.

Very good! Not heard that one.

Neck snapping is it? Which turbo are you running now Jez?

I think it's a repost

Driving lessons then! How come he doesn't drive?

What does Blueprinted actually mean? I'm surprised you don't replace the con rod bearings.

It's to make your old car look newer to people who don't know about cars, isn't it?

94M plate cars are late 94 and putting a late 94 plate on an early 94 car would still be making it look newer than it really is.

1½ miles? The buggers only let us do 1.0 mile top speed runs at TOTB5 (same venue) because, they said, the locals complain about the noise and their houses are towards the end of the 2 mile straight. The best I did was 161mph with a slipping clutch in 2nd and 3rd gears. I think Justin did 164 in his BPU Auto with hi-stall.

Look at the end tank design in my above post. What more evidence could anyone need? Who was condeming them for being cheap? We're condeming them because they are a poor design.

In what way? I don't think that's correct James. The difference between the end tanks on one of these and one of these is clear, innit? Maybe you were comparing a chinese 4 row with a GReddy 2 row? Could that be it? No, I can't. I don't think anyone is saying it has happened and has been proved to be down to the ic design. Like I've said several times in this thread: "If they're good enough they're good enough" they just ain't as good as brand name one. What do you have currently then? Edit: Whoops! Forgot the pic links - hang on

Thanks for that review Michael. *makes mental note not to buy a fluidyne rad*

sepect? webiste? nest? Have you been on the lash tonight mate?

lol! I'm just confused as to why people are confused about this. It's quite simple: the cheap ones do work but they don't work as well as the brand names ones. Whether they work well enough to do is another question. Maybe it's just me but it seems that JamieP and SupraDibbs will defend anything TurboFit sell. I'm not sure why that is but they do seem to regularly come to TurboFit's defence. I'm not slagging off TurboFit, I'm really not. All I'm saying is that XS Power FMICs are not as good as GReddy or HKS ones, and that the design differences between chinese FMICs (XS Power, Hybrid Power) and the brand name ones is undeniable. If you want to kid yourself your XS Power intercooler works as good as a GReddy one, go ahead and kid yourself, see if I care. BTW. They look cheap on your car too

I mean that the end tanks of the chinese fmics are very shallow compared to the brand name ones. See how the airflow is all going into the bottom few rows of the core and little to no airflow going to the upper rows? Well, no. That's my main point really. It might be true if the design was as good as the named ones, unfortunately it isn't. But anyway, like I said before mate, as long as it works good enough it's good enough.

Same as Darryl said really; if, because of the poor end tank design, the core is only flowing air through the bottom few rows it can't work anywhere near efficiently. You may not lose power but the increased (or more accurately 'not as lowered') intake temps are dangerous because of the likelyhood of detonation. You'll know if you melt a piston through Det

# PoS being 'Point Of Sale' or 'Piece Of Shit'? It's the 'Shell station locator' from http://www.shell.com

What do you mean by 'quality piece of kit' though? Did it have the typically shallow end tank design and the poor core structure usually seen on chinese FMICs? How a car performs on a dyno with any given FMIC is no real indication of how well the FMIC is working. The air flow from one of those fans they stick in front of your car while it's on the dyno is a tiny fraction of the air flow it would really get out there on road, where it counts. I'm not a trader and not associated with any traders, I'm just interested in establishing whether these cheap intercoolers are any good. I can understand why people go for them - because they're cheap, and the likes of HKS and GReddy are overpriced for what they are. If the cheap ones are 'good enough' I guess that's all that matters - but let's not pretend they are equal to the better designed ones.

Nice! What was the power at the wheels? Which injectors and ECU are you using?

There's some interesting comments about the XS Power FMIC in this thread http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?p=715905&highlight=end+tank%2A#post715905

How much is the hard pipe kit going to cost?

What is the definition of how many rows an intercooler is said to have? I mean, they don't actually have seperate rows in them do they? Isn't that 100mm thick ones are "4 row" and 75mm thick ones are called "3 row"? The XS Power and Hybrid Power FMICs are a poor design, there's no argueing about that. Exactly how much worse they perform compared to the big name ones is debatable. And shortly after it blew up, didn't it?
