Can this be trusted???
Okay so after going to the meet in north miami and seeing all the boosted sc's.
many with 600+ hp.
I am a man on a mission. At first ill be fine with less than 400 hp.
due to my budget.
And I was looking through Ebay and I found this kit. I know with ebay might come a bad connotation of bad quality, but this looks legit. there is even a link to a forum on which it is being advertised.
So If you guys can please look at it and tell me your thoughts on this. or any other suggestions.

He has been selling the kit for a long time now and has good reviews and recommendations. I believe his name is Mark? from ClubNA-T. He is also a sponsor of that site. Yes..legit. Its the XS power turbo setup he sells.
^^ just like he said. I have heard many positive things about this kit. It will do you well if thats the numbers you are really looking for. I have considered this kit as well, but you know there is a lot more work than just the kit. You need to lower the compression ratio by adding a thicker headgasket and some other work to make it reliable. It will cost in upwards of $2,000.
there are a few people here and there that complain of the quality of the kit. I'm still a little concerned as well, im one of those people that will "pay to play" to get stuff done right. Mark seems like a good guy, but im just paranoid that the kit will fail prematurely. I'm also taking into account that this is my only DD and i drive slightly on the aggressive side, both should be taken into account when purchasing or building a NA-T setup.
Yes his name is Mark, and that is the XS Power kit. I purchased my new manifold directly from him, and he is an excellent guy to deal with.
The kit itself is good, but not sure about the turbo's and WG's that come with the kit, some people have had zero issues, others have had some minor problems with boost creep, bad WG diaphragms etc. IMO its worth it to get the manifold and other parts from XS, but get a good turbo.
oh and have fun drilling your oil pan..I'm currently doing mine
