Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Too good to be true
those are total garbage. I emailed the company that makes these to see how much gaurantee they give with them from new. They replied TWO WEEKS 
I guess this just speaks for itself how naff they are.

Thats all XS power stuff...their manifolds are thin and crazck but loads of us have the downpipes, I have been using their wastegate for years without issue..
The turbo is a typical eBay jobbie, I have a chinese GT3082 at the moment for mocking up purposes but if the garrett turbo(the 1200 quid garret turbo) that failed after less than 5k miles) does not make it back on the car ill be using it and reporting back lol, i have a few friends that use the chinese turbos without any issues.
