Anyone with any long term updates on the XS ebay turbo?

I have seen two FDs on ebay in the last week with the XS turbo so far so I guess these turbos are starting to become popular? Anyone have any long term updates of the turbo system?

The last time this question was asked I think they were new on the market and no one could really comment on 1st hand experience.

There is some good info in the single section about the XS power turbos. I would pretty much stay away from them. There are a couple of people still running them but from the looks of some of the pics i have seen on the ones that have failed, they are garbage. People have had some good luck with the manafolds, mixed results with the wastegates, but i would stay away from the turbos.

I think it's the other way around... the manifolds are garbage and the turbos are ok, they don't measure up to a GReddy or the like, but they are good budget turbos.
