Default SC getting turbo

My sc is in the shop to get paint right now. while its getting paint i try to get all the turbo parts ready for it. Here is what i got so fat please tell me what you think and if you can get better deal than this please let me know. I got a custom turbo manifold with wastegate, and downpipe for $750 ship from East Coast. This can hold up to 600hp and not going to crack easily. I'm thinking about getting T4 or something bigger but haven't find any good one yet.

I've got a GS400 and all parts were custom for the most part so there are no leftovers or interchangeble items. I may have SAFC2 in a month though.

If you're looking to save money on a turbo, the T61s going on ebay are good units... they can make great power (600rwhp+ at 28psi or so)... not that you'd be boosting that much but 500whp is available at lower boost levels

you still need to decide on injectors, fuel control, etc...
to save money, i'd try high impedance RX-7 T2 550cc injectors, an LS400 MAF, a wideband O2 sensor and a SAFC-2... retard the ignition about 3-4 degrees and get it tuned

The supra boys claim that the XS turbos are trash and they break within 2 months. Do you have any experience with them or someone that does?

Correct me if I am wrong but I belive I heard the XS blowers are made in China ? If so I would be concerned with quality.

Master Power brand is what I'm talking about, and no they are made in Mexico and are direct copies of Garret turbos...

I've also heard trouble with XS-power stuff; but then again I've seen a lot of good reviews on their more recent turbo manifolds... and yes THOSE are made in China.
