TAIWANESE CARNAGE: The Trouble With Cheap Parts
Enjoy the carnage, people! Those of you not rocking SSAutoChrome, Stone Mountain, XS Power, and other Taiwanese knock-offs will rest easy...
http://jdm-insider.com/Blogs/Eric/wp.../fakexs007.jpg Look at those nasty *** brackets “supporting” the manifold to the flange. Then look at that clean *** welding….oh wait the flange fell off. http://jdm-insider.com/Blogs/Eric/wp.../fakexs005.jpg Imagine driving down the street and then your turbo falls off. Sounds stupid? So was this guy for buying XS Power. http://jdm-insider.com/Blogs/Eric/wp.../fakexs008.jpg No comment. http://jdm-insider.com/Blogs/Eric/wp.../fakexs009.jpg One guy’s turbo falls off. Another guy’s wastegate falls off. Are you kidding me? http://jdm-insider.com/Blogs/Eric/wp.../fakexs006.jpg The last guy wasnt’ the only one. Here’s another fallen wastegate. Notice the fake *** Tial w/g. http://jdm-insider.com/Blogs/Eric/wp.../fakexs003.jpg This guy is spending $200 to spray his valve cover and $99 on the exhaust manifold? http://jdm-insider.com/Blogs/Eric/wp.../fakexs002.jpg This is before the turbo even ran. And for the finale: http://jdm-insider.com/Blogs/Eric/wp.../fakexs004.jpg Yes, the compressor housing was GLUED together. LMAO. I can only hope the misguided people who buy XS Power, SS Autochrome, or Stone Mountain **** will learn their lesson. It's not worth saving $300 on something as important as a turbocharger or exhaust manifold only to have it wreck your build. [Source: Eric Hsu, Cosworth Engineer] |
COOL! Exploding parts!
|
XS Power shouldn't be confused with TurboXS or XS Engineering who are both good manufacturers.
|
Wow that is pretty sad. I guess you get what you pay for. It doesn't apply everywhere but in the F/I world it looks to hold true.
Edit: this XS power company does realize that parts get hot right? |
That last pic seriously had me LMAO
|
Hey, Im going to turbo my car. Let me get the shittiest parts available.
Deserved what they got. |

Haha. Me too! |
These parts are very important for Fast and Furious movies where cars lose pieces randomly for dramatic effect.
|
Say you wanted to save some money so you order that manifold. When that POS arrived in the mail, why the **** would you still put it on your car? So stupid.
|
Gahahahahahaha....whooo.
I haz hole inz manifold? NOZ fixes that! |
Danger to the manifold!!
|
People need to understand, patience is a virtue...
|
patience, waiting for the good guys to catch up to new cars? Or patience to save up the cash?
|
patience in saving up cash!
