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...

You only have to go onto the Skylines forums to find out. Time bombs they are (XS Power not Masterpower)
Either way your gonna be dissapointed.

mate i just dont get it ! on 20 psi u made that figure? ok drive train loss mightbe 35-45 rwkw !
i am not having a go at your car or u just does not sound right to me ?
i am chasing high 11's but want to achieve this on 17 psi ! and to achieve this pwr on that psi i was thinking I would need to port head change cam etc.. if i had very similiar boltons to urs ! ie turbo, plenum,tune/fuel/zorst mani with 3 more psi i can expect 300rwkw ! its weird thats all!

18-11-05, 09:30 GMT+10#34 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.

18-11-05, 13:14 GMT+10#35 i might as well make a donation to the web sight. 1. super t70 heap of crap
XSPOWER, but i was thinking is there any way to change the internals to garret or wont they fit????? would it be cheaper than buying a whole new garret one the same size?????? and what stuff would need changeing.
core? bearings? wheel? shaft? does any one know where i could take it so some one could quote it for me??????? in melb. of course.

01-12-05, 18:18 GMT+10#38 i can get the masterpower turbos for $900 delivered to your door
damn cheap and a damn good turbo
mine was just sent this morning from the states, should be here in just ova a week
i bought a T70 but ill be running a 1.00 split T4 rear (my own housing)
the guy i get them from doesnt hav a very big range of rear housings
T3 theres 0.7, 0.84 and 0.96 i think
T4 he only has 0.68
cant wait to see what sort of power it can make if hilly is making 393rwhp on 20lb wit a SOHC 3lt wit only a 0.70rear
if any1 wants a masterpower turbo than let me know n ill c what i can do
and they dont make ANY Ball Bearing turbos so dont ask
they also do a 1000hp+ GT45 wit a 1.05 rear

01-12-05, 19:54 GMT+10#40 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.
