just doing some research on turbo's Anyone know much about this brand (XSPOWER) of turbo??? or currently using???? also is anyone using oil cooled only turbo????? on a vl.

Most TO4's are only oil cooled from what I have seen..

xspower is a cheap **** badly made ebay brand. avoid. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

cheap **** turbos that i wouldn't take if you gave it to me. they are made in china and most of them are bad quality(most don't work from new)

Sorry to drag this back to the top, but can you guys give us some more info on these turbos, eg what experiences you've had or heard about. A mate recently bought one off ebay, and was trying to talk me into one. He thought it was the best deal ever! Pretty glad I didn't take him up!

You paid for what you get !!! If it is to good to be true most of the time it is

xs brand are fairly new to australia. They are made in china and imported by xs in america. Who then sell it to resellers here. They are the worst ****ing turbos ever. I cant express enough to steer clear from them. Good day.

James 03, more info?

for the price you could expect one night at the drags. Or a lap around the block and shes had it. a mate bought one for $400 it was heaps bigger than my highflow and he said it could take more boost than mine but look who braggin now not him his turbo blew out from the inside out. You get what you pay for. Somebody must use them and get success or maybe even there moneys worth just gotta find the people using them for the real answers i spoze

the general concensus is that the wheels are not balanced properly, if at all. so as soon as they get any kind of RPM into them, they wobble, strike the housing and destroy themselves. i say buy one!

He's gonna be spewin! Poor *******. Thanks for the info guys.

I don't know a great deal bout turbos, but i was reading on one site about one where the compressor housing (?) broke in half, and it looked like it was stuck together with some sort of expoxy glue, or something like that. very dodge

are they really that bad?? how could they possibly keep selling if they just all stuff up ?? maybe u can get lucky and get one that lasts Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I imported 2 but when I was told they were crap I put them on ebay and advertised that they were cheap crap and it still went for $450 which is what I paid, I certainly would not go near them again. As stated above, you get what you pay for, I have been told they are made in Scotland but I don't know how true that is.

nice one trev u ******* LOL... then again.. if u did advertise they were **** when u sold them.. the dude that bought it must be the dumbest **** around haha. peace.

yeah i remember seeing that add and he did say that he bought them for himself but they were crap so he was selling em. Geez it just goes to show someones trash is other peoples treasure. These turbos just get sold to people that are half hearted about turboin they dont wanna spend jack shuit but its a turbo.Then what happens is it dont get put on and it gets resold. coz if you knew about turboin i doubt youd buy them cripe ones anyway. So they are turbos for dummys coz when they finally take it to the turbo place the mechanic laughs and says that is shuit and we wont do the conversion using that so there they go off home to sell the great turb they bought. thats what i reckon but still im talking about them and i have never used one so how do i know!!!lol

has anyone here ever had a mechanic refuse to install parts on there car. happened to me on saturday, went to get so info and estimate to install a fuel system on my vl and the mechanic said " i wouldn't install a malpassi on a lawn mower " and was reluctant to install the parts unless i bought them of him. wouldn't even give a rough estimate. said we charge $80 an hour, and it takes as long as it takes. funny **** i thought.

Like go to a tuner down here and all they wanna do is sell you the new microtech or ems uno it ****s me especially when youve showed them what you got and they slam it. Like who the hell is that guy saying he wouldnt install a malpassi on a lawn mower what a TOOL. Yeah and he sez that then uses a plastic fuel filter on your car the tight arsie

so XSPOWER seems really cheap and crap. I guess their only good thing is the heat bag? or is that crap aswell? loll Phill
