      well actually now that is not a problem with xspower turbos, just like in other post one recently, they don't come apart like that, that was a fake xs power turbo. xs power turbos actualy have once piece design so it can't come apart. Also i would like to say while they might not be exactly like the name brands "garret, turbonetics, etc..." i have seen 3 cars running there turbos now with out anyproblems at all. As well as on HMT u can read a article about how there is xs power turbos and ones that say they are xs power. If u really want to go cheap and have somting good tho just go to a yard and buy a garret turbo off a car and rebuild it.

          You'll get what you pay for with those companies, its up to you if you want to take the chance.

          I'd look into other companies but thats my personal opinion

            If you punch in Garrett Turbo on ebay you will get many turbos that sell at prices that compete with that SSAuto. I prefer Garrett because they are the number one manufacturer in the Turbo business.

            My Personal Experience:
            SSAuto also has pretty crappy customer service. I was about to pick up a part from them but I did not need it any longer. I notified them and they sent one of the rudest emails I have ever read. With customer service like that, I would never be interested in any kind of crap the sell. Not to mention a decent amount of their stuff is crap.

                You can go the Ebay route, but KNOW what you are buying.

                  Guys it's a 16g turbo it's a stock JDM turbo from the Evo 3's and a select few of the eclipses over there. It's being sold through SS it's not an SS turbo.

                      there have been a few people testing these turbos on hmt with decent results with the newer products, and poor results with some of the other or older products as well, I was considering testing one out on my new setup, but I'll wait and see how the test come out one guy is coming up on a year now with no issues while otheres, well we've all heard the stories
