it's a ssautocrome manifold. it will blow up on you. you'll end up with a giant hole in that thing. their turbo will fail to if it's the kit i think it is. i'm not sure of the company that sells that kit but the only good part is the tial 38 mm wastegate... if it's even really tial.


DO NOT BUY ANY OF THAT STUFF

who is XS power, and is the ebay auctioner an authorized seller? Find out the answers to those first... if XS power is a legit company (I've heard of TurboXS and XS Engineering, but not 'XS Power") but the auctioner isn't authorized, that warranty doesn't apply.

I dunno, when it comes to moving pressurized air around my engine, I would prefer to use something that is proven. If you try it, GL HF
