A friend of mine had this setup and its been at my place for some time while he built his car but now he is selling it. he is asking 250 for the manifold, turbo, oil lines, and downpipe (made by xspower). My question is would this be a good deal? ive heard xs power stuff sucks? thanxs ---

turboxs (and all the related companies) are pure crap … uber crap if the parts were given to you free, and you arent capable of fabbing the piping yourself, youll actualy loose money on the deal when it comes time to install quality parts youll wind up paying tohave pipes built now youll have to pay to have the pipes modified later plus when the turbo starts to die and compressor side shavings start to run through your engine … ---
