      the price of them xs power manifolds is different every time they apear on the bay. i bought one a wile back ( regret it now ) for £262 havent put it on not sure if it ever will as the casting quality is a bit rubbish as the ports aren't full size. doesn't look like the pic they have up. could be cleaned out with a die grinder but don't really trust the metal quality. the last time i saw them the starting price was 60 something pounds i think

        Have you got any better pictures of it than whats in the auction listing as those pictures have too much glare etc on them.

              We had one NDT inspected and it passed. The casting isn't the prettiest, but it is solid. Not had the material tested so can't say if it will melt. I doubt it though.

                Shocking misalignment on the wastegate flange lobes.

                Other than that, I can't comment!

                  there was a general rule to no buy anthing xspower/chinese crap a while back. turbos falling to bits after a few weeks. cheap stuff but thats it cheap.

                  if you want a log make your own. a flange set and a tube is all thats needed.

                  paid less than that for my tubular on ebay. seems ok so far.
