Default WTH? Check out these Turbos.......

http://www.xs-power.com/turbos/index.html

300 dollar turbos.....

Anyone willing to test these out?

Note* This is not my website nor am i promoting it, just want some opinions regarding the quality of turbos in general as opposed to these lil guys.

Lol like 30 views, and not one response. But anyways, i found this site on an evo forum, some guy wanted to buy these for his evo9. Crazy.. But what if all the manufactures that pump out those turbos actually do charge that crazy amount , and their cost is actually a few hundred?

Lol anyways, wishful thinking. Maybe one of you scionlifer's can shed some light onto this.

Swartz, you do have a point there. But it still amazes me on how cheap they have it listed as. Also i found out that this guy gets his turbos manufactuered in China.....
Maybe some knock off turbos??? hah if it is, i never knew that existed!

it doesn't sound that far off for a cheap turbo kit. especially when you are looking at only the turbo itself. i have found some complete kits for around 1000 -1200 so for just one little turbo not too bad.
