these turbos are garbage. i can't tell you the things we have seen with these. People try to pass off the intercoolers as being ok too but if you ever see some of the thermal testing companies and done you would see they really don't do well compared to Garret cores.

 

i had two xs power super 60 tubos and both of the hot side seals went bad after about a month of use. the down pipe i bought is holding up well and the obx manifold i have is doing well also.

 

I have, and used, an OBX turbo manifold for about 2 years, not a single crack. It was braced, like any half smart person would do. Yea the walls seem a bit thin, thats why you brace it.
