Bizzyfingers Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Sorry if this is a repeat thread, I've ready many comments regarding this question but most answered by saying "a mate of mine who I knew years ago"... I need some personal based facts if possible please so if you have any personal dealings it would be greatly appreciated. What I am after is to know whether the turbo + manifold and ffim from xspower are any good? I've heard horror stories about the oil lines and other parts of the kit so I'll be sourcing from elsewhere. All I'll be buying is as mentioned. Cheers guys and remember it's takes more time to say "use the search button" than it does to just move along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellonman Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Ok I will give my experiance manifold + down pipe = Okay , mine did crack but that was because my exhaust grounded out putting extra stress on it , it had been fine for 3 years wastegate = good, I have the old HKS type thought it had a problem last year so got another one and it trunt out to be just a loose top hat , so i know have a spare again 3 years + on that, I hear the other tail types are rubbish. oil lines = I wouldnt risk turbo = I wouldnt risk I think the xs power manifold ,down pipe and wastegate can be used with a decent turbo and safe oil lines with good results, some of these manifold prices are crazy for a bit of pipe and welding.I have just changed mine from xs to japspec raceing which is alot more manly then the xs power manifold , I did have to port it alittle to make it perfict but hay I saved £1000 to sum up your clearly on a budget but it could get you by for a couple of years but you should bin the turbo and oil lines or you could save the money and do it all with good stuff once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berg Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Turbo and manifold will be fine for reasonable power, never used one at ridiculous power so cant comment on how they handle that side of things, my old na-t was 17psi for 18 months without problem, many on here have used them for long time without hassle. Whos to say you wont get a bad unit though You should expect to maybe have the flange skimmed on the manifold, sometimes they are warped, sometimes they arent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Cheers guys and remember it's takes more time to say "use the search button" than it does to just move along. It also takes less time to use the search function than to make a new thread. Posting in an existing thread if you don't get your answers is far more helpful for everyone involved - especially the people who have to police such things.

T14PPA Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Manifold and downpipe decent. My manifold was braced and has been on my car 2 years and no problems. Turbo not great. Wastegate i would use. And oil lines are crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
