For that cheap price I was going to just try their turbo alone, but decided not to.
Looks more like a To4B, maybe with a to4S wheel. They don't tell you what the exhaust side is either. Most of their other products are pretty much you get what you pay for. I have heard their tial knockoff wastegates are very nice though.

Actually the title says 1.15 A/R which would be fine for a rotary.. But i agree it does not look like a real To4S (which XS engineering has)

but it looks like they are copying it callign it XS Power. Who knows who makes the turbos, thats what would scare me.. I would like to see someone run on to see if the at least work or just blow up.

It doesn't not say what size the turbine trim or a/r is. The title mentions .84, but they use their titles and pictures just to score hits on the page. In their other auctions they don't even show the same turbo mounted lol. Just like they sell the Super T70 turbo, which is more like a to4s....

I just caught a glance of "S" trim, I believe that is a TO4B wheel.

For the price I doubt you can go wrong, I mean 200-300 thats a good deal, and its warrantied.

STAY AWAY, These guys are a disaster, do a search, there must be 10 negative threads on these guys. Buy an HKS cast mani, a turbo from www. cheap turbo, an IC from Boostcoolers on Ebay, and accumulate the WG/FPR/Pumps from the forum. Their manifiolds can be purchased for ~75.00 from the guys tghat already bought/modified, and still cannot get them to work. POS, mark my words, and those of everyone else screwed by these guys. DO A SEARCH, also try searching OBX, same jokers... Carl

What are your power goals? Daily driver? You can call me evenings(cali time), and I would be happy to advise you. It is too hard to do it back and forth on the forum 707-696-2705. Carl

SSautochrome = I will never do business with this guy again.
Bad experiance! Not with the turbo kit, but with the exaust system for the Fc3s and the T4 manifold for the sr20det.
