Better wait for the new BERK Technology IC. They are a little bit more expensive but come with all the shrouds, a fan and all little things that the XS one is missing.

They will also provide Test data before they sell them.

XS Power :? If you do a search on this forum for XS youll probably find a few horror stories. I havent read anything bad about their IC but I havent read anything good either. Theres plenty of horror stories about their poor quality downpipes and manifolds on here.

If I were you I would steer clear! (Just my 2 pence worth)

I am running a HUGE XSPower intercooler in my trunk without any problems.

The kit shown in the first link is a blatant copy of the GReddy IC Kit.
I'm kinda shocked they actually use GReddy's name for their copy!
