Default Turbo Manifold

Has anyone ever heard of Xs Power or anyone ever bought anything from them. I’m looking for a stainless turbo manifold and they have them for 85.00 and they have the manifold down pipe all flanges and gaskets even stainless bolts for 105.00. Sounds to good to be true. But for a 105.00 I’d try them out. I just want to know if anyone has anything good or bad to say.:cheers:

Ebay shit. For $100, I would expect that manifold to crack very shortly after installation.

I didn't find It on Ebay. I found their site on google. You must have seen it on Ebay. They must be cheeper on Ebay. Everything on their site is cheep. A T3/T4 Turbo for 200 bucks that can't be good.

i have one for my nissan, so far it's been just fine. however, the welds don't look to great.
remember you get what you pay for. if you drive hard, you'll probably be replacing it at some point.
a quality manifold is the way to go, if you want it to perform and last.

Yeah, they sell their shit through ebay too. If you are putting together a half assed turbo project just for some extra speed at minimal cost, it would be a good idea to gamble with it. Otherwise, look for something of higher quality.

I'm trying to build up a daily driver and just didn't want to spend 6 to 9 hundred bucks on a manifold

What manifold design and flange are you looking for?

If I were looking for a cheap, quality manifold, I would probably buy this one.

If you don't mind a log style manifold, the blox one is what you are looking for.

I made the mistake of buying a kit from them and it sucked! Nothing fit right so I sold it all off for a little more than I bought it for, lol and now I'm building my own.
