I notice how the people who have bad things to say about xspower usually have no personal experience with them. I've seen XSpower turbokits in action, and I have their parts both on my Maxima, and my Lexus. 0 probs so far.

I know they HAD serious problems in the past, but it seems that most current kits are acceptable by most peoples standards and i do this this company has dont alot to improve its image.

In life however, you usually get what you pay for.

I'm partial to CAD designed; twin scroll manifolds with tuned runners and robotic tig welds

Most everyone I know that had their Honda manifolds had them crack on them. However, the 240SX community loves their stuff, and I've heard nothing but good things about them in the Supra/SC community as well.

Does this kit have every thing you need to get running?

I would be happy with 300hp to the wheels. Any more and I think I might kill myself.

Answer:yes, it works with the NA supra, though you may need to oversize the holes on the flange/turbo to clear the distributor. Realistically, for a full install, you will need a fuel pump, FPR, and some way to add more fuel (SAFC, etc) and intercooler piping. That's basically the minimum to get boosted. For any car that is modified, I suggest a WB02 meter. Check the installation guidelines for install tips. I am available by email or phone as well.

Coming from the Honda/Acura forums, I noticed it was a hit or miss with them. Good luck.

True, especially the XSPower gates that I include with my kits.

yes, and everyone has an opinion. First hand experience is the only way to dispel questions. Much like Sam - he hated green eggs and ham..... till he tried them, that sam, sam I am.

All it is cheap low grade materials, mass produced in Taiwan with minimal quality control.

By blind monks even, who have to hot met glue gun the parts together. Only the hot melt glue gun is a votive candle and thier *****. C'mon...... if it says so on the internet, it must be true.
