Question good combo

after many many hours on the search mode ....finally made my choice. im gonna go with the xs engineering to4s kit. think its pretty good for what i want plus for $300 more dollars u get 18.6 more HP than the to4e. Gonna pair it up with either the m2 large or the pettit cool charge III. Whats everybody think of that combo? I think it will chill the air enough with out blocking air to the rad. Search button does work comments are appreciated.

My XS T04s turbo lasted 4,263 miles and then basically fell apart. Sent it back and they said it is a time guarantee not mileage. We can sell you a brand new one for $750. Do your homework that apparently has happened to several people.

I do think that standard T04s turbo is great but not with XS's internals.

I think that the XS turbo failure was due to them putting a restrictor in the oil feed line. My XS TO4S bearing failed after approx 200 miles, they fixed it for free, since then we removed the oil restrictor or put one in that allowed more oil flow. The turbo has approx 700 miles on it since it failed and seems to be okay now.
