First of all, good day everyone! I want to cover a very controversial topic, XS-Power and brother company SSAUTOCHROME's Big16G Turbocharger. I'm posting this review as I go so I can give a detailed and accurate review of the product and all that it entails. I, like you who are reading this have wondered if a turbo charger that does not have Garrett or Precision stamped on it will preform as well. I am here to walk you through step-by-step and let you know if it's worth your time and money to purchase a turbocharger at a fraction of the cost.
This is going in a 1.8l miata, I currently have the stock 14b DSM turbo so I figured it would be appropriate to post in this forum. If I like it there will be another one going in my 4g63 talon.
Questions being asked:
1. Will it last
2. Will it perform well
3. How is customer service if need be contacted
I purchased the turbo on 12/08/12, the title for the turbo is TD05H-16G Turbo Turbocharger For Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 1 2 3 4-8 TO 450bhp.

Before this turns into a flaming thread, I just want EVERYONE to know that if I could afford a ball bearing garrett turbo I wouldn't hesitate. However, i'm not made of money and the turbocharger that XS-Power offers fits my budget.
