Can anyone tell me the major differences between the XS and HKS TO4E kits? The HKS looks like it plumbs the WG back into the down pipe, but are the turbos identical? XS mentioned that their manifold and turbine section are divided, but I couldn't tell from HKS's website if their was divided as well. Anyone with experience here?

The major difference is the HKS lets you keep the airpump and the wastegate is plumbed into the downpipe. The XS comes with a BOV. For the price the XS is a better value. HKS just raised their pricing and the T04E is now overpriced.

But both have divided exhaust manifolds and housings?

The HKS has divided manifold and housing, exhaust housing is .84 A/R. Wastegate is plumbed back into the DP with a flex section.

 

also the XS kit is watercooled, the HKS oen is oil cooled
