293rwkw. No porting. Standard cam. It was on Dyson Rotaries Dyno, who are a very reputable company. Thats not to say that there dyno reads correct but what makes you so sure the standard head won't make 300rwkw. Have you pushed it to it's limits. ?? I doubt it...

Don't forget it's a 5pd. Much less drive train loss.

Time bombs they are (XS Power not Masterpower) Either way your gonna be dissapointed.

masterpower are apparantly really good turbos and afaik is made from a group of former garrett workers, never heard anything bad about their quality, only thing is apparantly their customer service is a bit weak at the moment so in the event u do have trouble it can take a while for warranty returns e.t.c XS power... lol, i dont think ive read a single story of someone that has a realible car yet?? nothing but bad info everywhere on them, go look on supra forums, mustang, corvette, ls1, honda forums e.t.c in the states, they bash them to the ground.

The main reason why XSPOWER are crap is because they aren't balanced properly, some people have been lucky and got ones that last but others have had them literally explode when wheels collide with housings etc. I have heard that if you get them balanced etc then they will do the job. Still not worth buying one though. Masterpower are great turbos, would have one anyday.
