well here is the first problem im running into, when everything was installed, we started the car drove under 2k for about a mile or so, and the clutch started to slip so we were like ok.... well as time went on under the car these huge puddles of oil started to appear.here is what i think happened but i would like some opinions on this.....we initally start car, clutch starts to slip, rear main is leaking oil on clutch. Why did the rear main blow out so quickly? oil pressure i assume? Im using a 45 degree fitting on the drain of the turbo and a 90 for the feed. would those fittings be a factor in the dramatic raise in oil pressure? i mean it all happend so fast the change must have been instant correct. i feel like i kinda rambled there...

i don't know about the seal but, why do you regret the xs power kit.

i don't think your supposed to use a 90 degree fitting for the return but use a 45 degree instead due to less flow going into your oil pan. did you floor it or anything during that 1 mile? if not, i don't see why the clutch would slip already, maybe it was just time for a new clutch? where did you get your intercooler piping from, did you have to clock your flange on the turbo mani to clear the distrubuter and did you have to modified your downpipe that came w/ the xs power kit?

Yeah what is wrong with the XS Power Kit? Sounds like a user, not a hardware error.

trbo1stgen

deff, no flooring with in the first mile for sure. bought the piping on ebay

it's like a half and half mark at xs power sent me the wrong hardware kit, and i waited so long after i bought the kit to put it on, any warranty i had was already up and he was just an *** about it. and some of it was letting my friend help me with it.(not letting hat happen again). And as far as quality is concened im more than happy with everything, i mean i do wish i spent the money on a better kit, but i suppose this really isnt terrible.

Oh ok gotcha. That is weird though, Mark is usually a really nice and great guy. Of course I would love to have a Boost Logic kit but for the price and the power I got from the kit, it can't be beat. Quality is pretty good, although I am on my second turbo (got the kit from my friends shop, before XS Power got big), I only paid $300 for my current one and I am making around 400rwhp. Keep us updated

id love to have a BL kit too. and ya everyone told me mark was areally nice guy. i was shocked he was really nice when i spending the money but when i had problems he was never around, but ill quit ragging on him. Im hoping to get this car finished up by mid jan.

so as far as what i wanna do with exterior, im going to either go with a set of Ti 5 wheels in 19x9.5 and 19x10.5

ive also got a dual blitz nur spec exhaust that needs to get put on.

and either paint the car purple and put it on gold wheels with like a vertex kit on coils

or stock royal jade with sc400 lip and coils and the gold wheels

or white with the sc400 lip and the black wheels with like smoked tails, heads. just going with like a black and white theme.

Let me know what you all think...any more ideas?
